 Subject: Antifreeze Question
IP: Logged
Message:
The DC Service manual for the 2001 Dak says to only use antifreeze containing HOAT ( some kind of organic formula) to minimize corrosion in aluminum blocks, of course only MOPAR antifreeze. Do other major antifreeze brands contain HOAT, and does this really matter, or is it designed to sell more MOPAR antifreeze???
Thanks for any intelligence on this.

I talked to the service manager at my local dealership and he told me use any green coolant and I would be fine.

I haven't seen any discussion on this topic lately. A reputable mechanic I know says that he still prefers regular changes of old-style green antifreeze instead of the orange "5-year" stuff like in my 2001 4.7 when new. Whatcha think?

... HOAT ? ... to minimize corrosion?
Amsoil Antifreeze & Coolant Prevents Metallic Corrosion!
Independent tests reveal AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant surpassed standards for metallic corrosion protection. It plates to metal to protect even when exposed to acids and salt spray. Standard allowances for loss in aluminum and solder are less than 60 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant lost 0 mg in aluminum and less than 6 mg in solder.
Standard for iron, steel, copper and brass allow a maximum loss of less than 20 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze and Engine Coolant never exceeded 3 mg loss in any of those metals in a testing period that was run for 10 weeks, three weeks longer than required tests.
__________________________________________________
--- AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant ---
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is formulated to provide benefits far beyond those found in conventional antifreeze and coolant products.
This revolutionary formulation provides maximum antifreeze and cooling protection in the most extreme temperatures and operating conditions. And unlike conventional ethylene glycol based products, which are highly toxic and even fatal,
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is biodegradable.
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is formulated with propylene glycol. It is biodegradable and requires no special disposal costs or procedures in most areas. Above all, its low toxicity presents no threat to children, pets or wildlife.
____________  ____________
-- AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant provides even greater benefits:
Lasts Longer = Extended Service Life!
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant contains a proprietary poly organic acid technology. It eliminates the need for periodic changing or recharging of cooling systems. There is no need for supplemental coolant additives. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant provides extended service life in all gasoline and diesel vehicles. It can be used for seven years or 250,000 miles in passenger cars, light-duty trucks, vans and recreational vehicles. It lasts seven years or 750,000 miles in over-the-road diesel trucks.
Compatible With Other Fluids
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is dyed neutral yellow and is compatible with all ethylene and propylene antifreeze and coolant formulations on the market, including DEX-Cool®, Sierra®, and Zerex®. It is also compatible with fully formulated diesel antifreezes and other organic acid technology (OAT) and hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) formulations.
Stops Leaks by Self-Sealing
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant adheres to metal. It self-seals hairline cracks in welds and seams to prevent leaks, without additional stop-leak products or fibrous materials.

I just ordered the new formula AMSOIL Anti-Freeze and coolant
for my Ram Diesel.
I have read a lot of good articles in magazines on the Amsoil
anti-freeze and coolant. I know that it is one of the few coolants
that can be used on the racetrack due to the fact that if it is
spilled on the track, it washes off easily and leaves no slick film
behing like ethelyne glycol will.

dexcool (orange) and reg AF (green!) Are pretty interchangeable. As long as you flush good before hand. There is a breakdown and temp diffrence in them.
One thing to remeber never ever put green af into a dex cool system. The diffrence in tempeture reactions usually leads to some bad stuff.
