Prestone antifreeze
« on: August 22, 2013, 08:22:42 »
Just wondering if anyone has any views on Prestone Antifreeze.

I've used it in all of my recent cars/vans... Seemed OK there!

What say you?

as long as its suitable for aluminum engines and is silicate free you're fine.

Is that OAT antifreeze? I could never get an answer whether that was suitable for my Tiger.

I'm sorry, no idea what OAT is  :shrug:

Maybe this will help

Organic Acid Technology. It's usually orange / red rather than blue but sadly there's no standard for colour. It's what is used in most cars these days but you have to be careful as mixing OAT with pre-OAT can cause sludging (allegedly).

I use OAT in my Land Rover with alloy radiator / head etc so it should be OK for the Wee.
