Guess I'll know when I drain it, just wanted to know what I might have ready for the refill - could always get 3 gallons of each type I suppose!



what does OAT stand for?

If you are doing nothing, how do you know when you are finished?

My 05 Roadster doesn't have OAT if the colour is anything to go by. It's almost clear with a tinge of purple. It matches the coolant I picked up at the Ford dealer last year. I must read the small print on the bottle again.

Hi,
Be careful if you speak with a LR Dealer, on 2003 Plus 8, it is not a 2003, but a 99 MY engine. Since 2000 MY the V8 is fitted with a THOR (Bosh system) and some specs are quit different.
