Need the same or similar formulation to Kohler Extended Life Coolant

[The_Eric]

Hey all, I have a customer who is running this coolant and in need of a water pump and radiator - he only has one gallon of premixed coolant and I suspect that I'll need more. I can't find it in stores locally, so I'm hoping that it may be the same or similar as others that I can get.. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The juice in question is P/N GM109949

So per Kohler's sell sheet were looking at a blue Si-OAT ELC.

Turns out Kohler sources it from AMSOIL, which is interesting given that AMSOIL has a very limited lineup of coolant, with no Si-OAT or even anything blue... However the style of bottle and the phrasing of a number of lines in the sell sheet are consistent with AMSOIL's own.

Recochem/Kost also use the same style bottles, and I suspect that they may be AMSOIL's blender, with AMSOIL somehow just ending up being the middle man for Kohler.

The Kohler KD series engines call for BASF Glysantin G40, but also allow for G48 with a shorter change interval, both are Si-OATs.

Recochem/Kost's OEM brand "Extended Life EURO I" is a blue Si-OAT recommended for use in cars requiring G40 (aka VW G12++), so that would probably be my first choice if I could get it locally.

Thank you very much for your input!

What I read about "Kohler AF" says it's a HOAT AF and uses silicates(H), which is what G-05 is. It won't match the blue tint, but attributes are the same and can also be found in concentrate. It does appear the OEM Euro also low silicate OAT and is blue tint. That said, unlike G-05 I have no idea where it can be found.

Looks to be the compatible chemistry with PEAK EURO Blue which is available at Advance Auto and Zerex G48 which is sold at O'Reilly's.
