Comparison of Conventional and Organic Acid Technology (OAT) Coolants in Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Service 1999-01-0130

Organic acid (OA) or organic acid technology (OAT) coolants are being aggressively marketed today as a far superior product to more conventional coolants. Claims are being made such as superior performance, as well as a product that is friendly to the environment.
