    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.

    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.

    valvoline g-05 is HOAT.

    Valvoline.com > Products > Zerex > Antifreeze Zerex > Zerex G-05® Antifreeze / Coolant

    the generic blurb

    http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/zerexg05.pdf

    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.
