Not RVs, but on trucks I have heard that not keeping the right chemicals in the coolant leads to pinholes in the liners, coolant leaking into crankcase or combustion chamber.
Does the engine know what box it is in?

I strongly suggest you pull a sample for chemical analysis after 12 years as it could be interesting. We always get a chemical analysis on every oil and coolant change.

Scott,
Just going from the OP's first post-- he currently has green coolant. OE-- we have no idea.
Actually, not a bad idea to do a complete flush and go with one of the new-generation OAT based coolants.

Green fluid is wrong and can cause damage.
There absolutely ARE some green "approved" coolants for diesels. Most are the old-chemistry "low silicate with added SCA" type. With these, the SCA concentration needs to be checked annually and new added per test results.
From Cummins/Fleetguard pdf. Page 14 Fleetcool is green.

Drain the overflow tub and the radiator and replace it with regular anti freeze from Walmart.
Or have Walmart do it for you.
Not on my worst day.
You have either a Fleet Guard fully formulated which has the SCA's in it or you have an OAT coolant depending on the year of your rig. A call to Freightliner can tell you which they put in when built.
