Detroit PowerCool Plus OAT-Prevost Bus/MH

[jetman]

Here's my latest used coolant analysis report.
Coolant is Detroit Diesel PowerCool Plus organic acid technology (OAT) extended life coolant out of my 1995 Prevost bus/MH with 1995 Detroit 12.7L 60 series. Coolant is 9 mths old with 6000 miles. Uses a blank filter. System holds 24ish gallons. Detroits freezing point spec is -24 to -44*F.

I normally use OAI for coolant analysis, but somehow I ended up with two Detroit kits, so I gave them a try. It took 6 wks The sample eventually ends up at a ALS Tribology Lab, same as my Wix oil kits, but my oil results only take a week or two.

6 weeks
That can be disappointing. Still keeping it in I reckon (antifreeze)?

I won't be buying anymore Detroit kits.
Yes, I'm keepin the coolant. I needed to make certain I had the percentage right, and I thought buy using a "Detroit" kit I might get some new insite(s) about coolant chemistry. NOT. The "Detroit" kit just adds another middleman layer, no thanks.

Yeah, now knowing it's just ALS. I know of a few different companies that do this and charge quite a premium that would ordinarily be much cheaper if going directly. Thanks

Feel free to give the Fleetguard Monitor program a try; I'm told it's pretty speedy turnaround times: https://cms.fleetguard.com/en/literature/monitortm-fluid-analysis-program-technical/lt36251
