Radiaor Flush Question

[angus]

Where do you find the "G05 HOAT" coolant anyway? I gave up finding it where I live and just went to the dealer to pick some up. The service manager had never heard of HOAT,after I explained three times (including spelling it out) :pant:I gave up and just asked for whatever coolant is proper for a 06 Dodge with Cummins..All I got was "Oh you mean the red":thumbup2: 24$ for a gallon....yikes....

I had to spell it out as well at the Oreilly parts counter LOL! Evidently Zerex (Valvoline) are the only aftermarket that produce G05, or Hoat replacement.. It means Hybrid organic acid technology. Oreilly had to order it @ $17 something a gallon.. When I drained the old coolant it still checked good to - 30 degrees, and I was pleasantly shocked that there was absolutely no corrosion in the cylinder head or radiator after 151K:hyper: I have never seen a cast Iron engine look that clean.. So I`m glad I stuck with it:2cents: http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/zerex_g05.pdf
