Keeping cool with Valvoline
A primary cause of vehicle breakdown is cooling system failure because cooling system maintenance is often
neglected or the wrong coolant or water is often used.
C
hoosing the right coolant is essential to engine
protection, and the complete range of premium
Valvoline coolants help keep system components
in top condition. Most vehicle manufacturers have particular
coolant specifications and recommend different
coolant technologies, including organic acid technology
(OAT) or hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT). In addition
to meeting these approved technologies, Valvoline coolants
offer additional benefits so you can be sure of the best
protection available.
