The Importance of Proper Cooling System Maintenance
Research has shown that 40% of all engine problems in heavy-duty
diesel engines are related, directly or indirectly, to improper
cooling system maintenance.
Regular cooling system maintenance is vital to keeping an engine
running properly. The use of a fully formulated, high quality
lifetime coolant such as Fleetguard’s Fleetcool OAT or ES Compleat
help reduce operating costs, minimize engine downtime and ensure
better reliability and durability from engines and cooling
systems.
Both Fleetcool OAT and ES Compleat are supported by a robust,
high-quality additive package which protects engines and components
better and longer than standard light-duty and heavy-duty
coolants.
We compared Fleetcool OAT and ES Compleat with standard Light
Duty and Heavy Duty Coolants in a European heavy-duty truck
environment. Here are the results:
240,000km 3,000h
The additive package of a standard light-duty coolant is already
fully depleted. Engine and components are no longer protected
against corrosion, cavitation, scaling or acidity. Coolant has to
be drained and fully replenished. That is bad for the environment.
It also means costly downtime for your equipment.
At this point, the total cost of ownership for the light-duty
coolant has already doubled.

Standard Light Duty Coolant
Did You Know That... ■ Fleetguard Lifetime Coolants last up to 4
times longer than standard light-duty and heavy duty coolant ■
Fleetguard Lifetime Coolants' total cost of ownership is much lower
compared to standard light- and heavy-duty coolant ■ Fleetguard
Lifetime Coolants inherit a robust, high quality additive package ■
Fleetguard Lifetime Coolants is the best engine protection,
reducing downtime and minimizing operating cost! ■ Fleetcool OAT
does not require any Supplemental Coolant Additive product and can
just be topped off with Fleetcool OAT Premix
720,000km 9,000h
The light-duty coolant has to be replenished for the 3rd
time.
The total cost of ownership has quadupled at the same time.
480,000km 6,000h
Additive packages of the standard light-duty as well as the
heavy-duty coolant are depleted. Draining and refilling the system
is required.
The total cost of ownership for the standard heavy-duty coolant
has doubled. The total cost of ownership for the light-duty coolant
has tripled.
At the same time, Fleetguard Fleetcool OAT organic acid
technology coolant only requires a ‘running check’ - its strong and
robust additive package assures continuous protection.

Continuous replenishment of the coolant is required for the
standard light- and heavy-duty coolants. Only quality checks for
Fleetcool OAT and ES Compleat. Top off ES Compleat with
Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) if necessary. Fleetcool OAT
does not require any diesel coolant additive but can just be topped
off with Fleetcool OAT Premix.
