    thanks

    The correct coolant for a Td5 is the red/orange colored OAT type, like the reccomended Nulon .... OAT = Organic Acid Technology (whatever!!) ...

    Green Glycol based coolant is NOT the correct coolant for a Td5 .... others will dissagree, others run Green with success ...

    Spec' is OAT ... I use OAT.

    If your going to change make sure you flush ALL the green out before changing .... OAT & Green Glycol do NOT play well together !!
