Engine Coolant Type
    Notice
  • System Contamination
  • Only OAT extended life coolants (Chevron Delo® XLC or equivalent) should be added to Thermo King systems.  Conventional coolants should not be used (Typically identified by green or blue-green color).  If a conventional coolant is combined with the Thermo King factory fill up to 25% by volume, the coolant must be changed at the next service opportunity.  Above 25%, the coolant must be changed immediately. Conventional coolants dilute/interact with the additive packages of extended life coolant which significantly reduces the service life of the coolant.
