Which Coolant do you use

BASF's Toyota coolant is a stand alone blend called Glysantin G 70, made to Toyota's spec TSK 2601G-8A

OAT coolant, contains phosphates.

Glysantin®
Glysantin® engine coolants are formulated on the basis of ethylene glycol and an individually developed anti-corrosion package. They all are approved according to the car manufacturers’ coolant standards.

• Glysantin G 05 Hybrid coolant, nitrite-containing
• Glysantin G 30 OAT coolant
• Glysantin G 33 OAT coolant with high reserve alkalinity
• Glysantin G 34 OAT coolant
• Glysantin G 48 Hybrid coolant, nitrite-free
• Glysantin G 70 OAT coolant, phosphate-containing

Super Concentrates
Super Concentrates are inhibitor concentrates for the manufacture of Glysantin engine coolants. They have to be blended with ethylene glycol in individual mixing ratios. Exception: Corrosion Inhibitor BS 6580 is used for the manufacture of engine coolants, which fulfil current national standards (e.g. BS 6580:1992).

• Corrosion Inhibitor BS 6580 OAT super concentrate for standard engine coolant, silicate-free
• Super Concentrate G 99 Super concentrate for Glysantin G 48
• Super Concentrate G 102 Super concentrate for Glysantin G 05
• Super Concentrate G 106 Super concentrate for Glysantin G 30
• Super Concentrate G 108 Super concentrate for Glysantin G 33
• Super Concentrate G 109 Super concentrate for Glysantin G 34

Basin
Basin® is an engine coolant based on propylene glycol.

• Basin P 43 Hybrid coolant, nitrite-free, based on propylene glycol

Glysacorr
Glysacorr® is an inhibitor concentrate with approvals for the manufacture of coolants without freeze protection. It is especially appropriate for the usage in heavy-duty engines, e.g. in trucks, ships and locomotives.

• Glysacorr G 93 Hybrid corrosion inhibitor concentrate, silicate-containing
• Glysacorr with vapour phase corrosion inhibitors
  Corrosion inhibitor concentrate for engines during the running-in phase

Glysantin® FC
Glysantin® FC products are modern engine coolants for fuel cell vehicles (PEMFC).

• Glysantin FC G 20 Fuel Cell coolant, ready to use
• Glysantin FC G 21 Fuel Cell coolant, ready to use

what happened to a couple teaspoons of soluble oil in a bucket of water?
Oat is grain when ground can make flour, and when steamed and rolled then cooked with water an a lil salt becomes porrige

Gday All,
My car went into a L/R specialist 3 yrs ago and they flushed the cooling system and changed the coolant to tectaloy 90+ (green)..so I have been using that since, I am now being told by other L/R specialists that that's the wrong coolant and will corrode the alloy head.
Without arguing who's right or wrong in the specialist department, whats people thoughts , expieriences, should I change it again for tectaloy red.
I have a 2001 td5..

Thanks and Cheers Ean

Why would the head corrode ?
It use's a conventional inhibitor package that's been used for years in aluminium engines.

Tectaloy make excellent coolants. AFAIK they are the only locally based coolant blender that has their own lab and test facilities, the only downside with their 90+ over an OAT is that the life is three years/40,000km and the heat transfer isn't as good an OAT/HOAT as it uses a conventional additive package (which is designed for all alloy engines)

If you've exceeded 40,000km I'd be dumping and flushing.
When flushing use an alkali based flush initially (helps get rid of any silicates present) and then use an acid based flush if swapping to an OAT or HOAT (just prepares the metal surfaces for the new inhibitor better, this was the advise I got straight from Tectaloy ;) )
Tectaloy's Mukowt (alkali) and HD2 (acid based) are excellent flushes and what I use.

From the Tectaloy Techinfo catalogue and Green Book

Tectaloy
90 Plus - 3yrs or 40,000kms
Tectaloy 90 Plus is a pre-mixed, 33% Anti
Freeze Anti Boil, ready to use conventional style
radiator coolant.
Formulated for heavy-duty use, it is designed to
meet increased demands placed on passenger
vehicles today. Ideally suited to modern multi valve
engines working under increased loads.

{edit} Forgot to add that the correct cross for Land Rover OAT or a number of HD diesel engines with a Tectaloy coolant is their V Plus Orange, NOT the XP7 Red

I recantly replaced the rad, thermostat ,hoses, etc and flushed the system then filled it with new coolant,so its only 2 mths old.

I may have miss quoted alittle on the head corroding out but it was something to that effect,

I know the coolant we use in our Cummins engines on the boat isnt the Cummins stuff, but it equivilant or better depending on who you talk to..

Thanks for the reply,

Cheers Ean

Ean, if you are really concerned drop Tectaloy (deVille Australia) a line.
I found their tech people excellent when I rang a few years back on swapping the Patrol to the same coolant as the Defender.

Which reminds me, i have to do a flush and new coolant on the tractor.
