Yes, very important.

If one of the new generation OAT-based coolants (usually red) you do NOT, repeat NOT use SCA.

SCA is only used with the older generation "low silicate for diesel with added SCA" coolant.

My mechanic.. the one that works in the shop I own, saw fit to add a bottle of sca to my extended life coolant. I know it isn't necessary but you make it sound like it could be harmful, or am I over reading your text. He is one to use overkill but I don't want to kill something using it. He had poured it in the radiator before I knew it.

Dub,

Not sure one bottle of SCA would do much harm, but a question probably better asked of Fleetguard or whoever made your coolant.
