I haven’t faced any issues, but I’ve heard that not all older vehicles are compatible with OAT coolants. Always check before making a switch!

Compatibility can definitely be a concern! Just like mixing oil and vinegar—it’s a recipe for disaster. Use what’s suggested for your vehicle!

Haha, love that analogy! But seriously, it’s always best to double-check compatibility to avoid potential problems.

In the end, OAT coolants seem to offer several benefits over traditional ones, but it’s important to weigh options based on specific needs. It’s a thoughtful decision!

I recently switched to MS.90032 OAT coolant and had a great experience. For proper installation, make sure to flush the old coolant thoroughly. It ensures better performance.

Exactly! I usually run distilled water through the system to flush out any remnants. It helps a lot!

Don’t forget to check the radiator and heater cores while you’re at it. They can trap old coolant if not flushed properly. Anyone have tips on maintaining the cooling system?

I recommend regular checks for leaks and maintaining proper fluid levels. Preventive measures can save you a headache!

Flushing the system is a breeze if you follow the right procedures. Just remember to run the engine with the heater on to circulate the new coolant fully.

That’s a great tip, wadams! And if you notice any strange colors or smells from the old coolant, it might be time for a complete change—safety first!

I’ve heard that mixing coolant types can be a disaster. Make sure you clean with proper flushing agents before switching to OAT to avoid any issues.

Haha, carol07! I love that perspective! Just like humans, cars need their fluids too. Has anyone tried flushing with vinegar for cleaning?
