From RAVE

Anti-freeze

Use only ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system

CAUTION: No other anti-freeze should be used with anti-freeze containing OAT corrosion inhibitors.

Just bought 5 litres genuine to do the job. If you do a search on PDA500310 (5 litres) you will get some idea of prices (PDA500300 is the 1 litre size). John

From my L322 2003 TD6 owners manual

Coolant Specification

Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and Texaco AFC coolant. If this is unavailable, use only ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with only Silicate based non-phosphate corrosion inhibitors .

 2009 - L322 5.0 S/C Autobiography

I was always told that OAT antifreeze was for 2006 on models and for everything before that it's ethylene glycol based but containing no methanol and has to have silicate based non phosphate corrosion inhibitors.

Pete is bang on that you must not mix different types of antifreeze though, so when flushing you must do so thoroughly maybe 3 or 4 times with fresh water. When refilling mix your antifreeze with de-ionised water as this stops any build up of scale.

I think the problem is that rave differs from the handbook, they both contradict each other  ______________________________

Whatever type we all use if changed at least once every 2 years it shouldnt matter anyway  2009 - L322 5.0 S/C Autobiography

rs 2000 totally agree but I have all my motors serviced at main dealers and you have to ask them to change had an argument with beadles to get them to do this year on my 2004 was done by lookers after asking 3 years ago lot to be said for servicing yourself if you have time for sure
