i've used the hybrid stuff too in the past at a customers request. tbh i would just use glycol in that instance anyway for all the hasssle and difficulty in obtaining oat in out of the way places etc.Quote:

Oats not that hard to find.... you can get it up on the cape now.....
you can also get crocs up on the cape, but as with OAT who would really want either of them in your LR
Everything has its place.
OATs there for a reason and crocs make damn good eating and footware..
Ive had both in big red and AFAIK big reds still running OAT.
So they have changed,was definitely valvoline G-05,green stuff,18 months ago when mine was last done.They had used it for a while on all TD5's.Quote:

the spec sheet.
The Problem with it IMHO....
ITS GREEEN. as are most of the new HOATS and some companies are marketing their HOAT as plain old antifreeze or long life coolant which means some people are using OAT spec coolants and not even knowing it.
IT also means that some shadey grease monkies are using ethyl glycol and passing it off as HOAT.
IN Theory...
HOAT has all the advantages of OAT, can be blended with OAT or Ethylglycol type coolants as required and has the "skinning" properties of Ethylglycol that everyone loves because it means you can ignore what would otherwise be an insignificant leak.
My td5 has red oat in it and allways has from factory and allway will..
great thanks for all your help ill throw out that **** coolant then and remove the radiator and flush the whole lot and fill with ordinary coolant by the way justin when are you back at work i need to have a chat with you happy new year
