Is Subaru coolant oat?

Is Subaru Coolant OAT?
Subaru coolant is indeed OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant. The blue Subaru “Super Coolant” uses organic acid technology (OAT) corrosion inhibitors, which is different from traditional “green” coolant that uses silicate-based anti-corrosion additives. The Subaru Long Life Green coolant is also mentioned as an OAT coolant. Additionally, it’s important to note that Subaru OEM coolant is supposedly OAT, and mixing OAT-based formulas with IAT formulas can result in turning the coolant into sludge due to a chemical reaction.
So, Subaru coolant is OAT.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Do Subarus need special coolant?

Every vehicle manufacturer, including Subaru has developed its own coolant or requires a distinct coolant that is unique to personal years and models.

Can you mix universal coolant with OAT coolant?

Mixing OAT and IAT coolants can be detrimental. What is OAT coolant doing when mixed with IAT is turning the auto coolant fluid into a gel that can clog the cooling system and cause the engine to overheat.

Can you use OAT coolant in all vehicles?

Cars made after 1998 normally need antifreeze that uses silicate-free, organic acid technology (OAT). These types of antifreeze offer better corrosion protection so that parts don’t need to be changed as often. Cars made before 1998 usually need antifreeze that isn’t OAT-based and does contain silicate.

What kind of coolant does a Subaru take?

Prestone – MAX Original Equipment Antifreeze + Coolant: Asian Blue, 50/50 RTU, 1 Gallon (Part No. AF6310)

What color coolant does Subaru use?

For a long time, Subaru only used one coolant which was a standard not pre-mixed green coolant. Then around 2008, they came out with a pre-mixed blue Super Coolant. So what is the difference between these two coolants?

Is all antifreeze OAT?

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENGINE COOLANTS
Some of them are Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT), Phosphate-free HOAT, Phosphated HOAT (P-HOAT), and Silicated HOAT (Si-HOAT). You should always use the coolant fluid recommended by your car manufacturer.

Can I use universal coolant in Subaru?

Every vehicle manufacturer, including Subaru has developed its own coolant or requires a particular coolant that is unique to explicit years and models.

How do I know if I have OAT coolant?

One way to check is to pull a sample. The OAT stuff is purple when new, and turns to almost an orangish-red color when used. (But it still isn’t the bright orange color of the HOAT stuff). If you are still questioning it i would do a full system flush.

Is all red antifreeze OAT?

Red/Pink Coolant
Red or pink coolant is another type of OAT coolant that is commonly used in newer vehicles. It works in the same way as orange coolant in removing excess heat from the engine and protecting the engine from freezing temperatures.

What cars use OAT coolant?

ORGANIC ACID TECHNOLOGY (OAT)
This very common type of OAT coolant technology is used by American (GM, Dodge/Chrysler), European (VW, Audi, Saab), and some Asian manufacturers (Honda). It is important to know that OAT does not protect copper and brass system components.
