    Hi

    Not necessarily.

    These "Long Life Coolants" can easily be a Hybrid OAT (HOAT) such as G-05 and the others listed in my previous post that contain reduced amounts of silicates. These coolants are not sensitive to air in the system like a OAT coolant is which not only offers significant improvements in protection to the water pump impeller but helps eliminate the "mud" dex systems often have..

    Also, none of these contain the known plasticizer, 2-eha as an additive.

    Okay, so what I am getting from everyone, is that dex-cool is crap and should be removed from my system asap, and also that everyone recommends a non OAT coolant?
