Product Features
Lilac antifreeze usually contains Organic Acid Technology (OAT) additives. OAT coolants are known for their extended life and superior protection against corrosion.
This type of antifreeze is often used in newer vehicles. It's crucial to check your vehicle's manual to ensure compatibility, as using the wrong type of coolant can lead to engine damage.
OAT-based antifreezes, like lilac, typically have a longer lifespan compared to traditional Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT) antifreezes. They can often last up to 5 years or 150,000 miles.
Lilac antifreeze provides excellent protection against freezing in cold temperatures and overheating in hot temperatures. It also prevents corrosion and buildup of scale within the cooling system.
It's important not to mix different types of antifreeze. Mixing OAT antifreeze with IAT or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) coolants can reduce the effectiveness of the antifreeze and may cause damage to the cooling system.
When selecting antifreeze for your vehicle, always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure you’re using the right type and maintaining your vehicle’s warranty and performance standards.
