Coolant
- Thread starter kcj1317
- Start date
I would say very little if any. A lot of coolants sold be sled manufacturers are already premixed (50/50, ect.) and some may have special corrosion inhibitors that they will claim provides "superior protection". I've always run regular car antifreeze and have never had a problem.
Here is what Ski-doo says about the new coolant.
Summary:
A new orange coolant is being used in 2014 Ski Doo's.What is it?
Type:
General
TST Detail:
A new extended life orange/pink colored coolant is being used starting with the 2014 models.
P/N-219702685.
The new recomended change interval is 5 years.
This coolant has less silicant content for better heat transfer, and reduces scale buildup in the engine and cooing system.
As in auto industry it is best not to mix coolant types.
Refer to Service Bulletin on new coolant for proper flushing procedures etc.
hope this helps!

X2. My dealer also said that the cooling system remains pressureised. If you remove the cap when it's a little low, be prepaired to add what comes out. Ski Doo is calling it long life stuff. They changed it in other BRP lines.

Coolants are not the same. Dex cool, delo, cat elc. All the same except for additive. All are organic acid technology.
Green stands for garbage.
Oat has improved cooling too. Especially on those days when every one is over heating. Ive had rides that stock rmks were over heating, and I wasn't, while towing a broken sled back.
Get you some of that.
I run delo in everthing. No corrosion, ever. Mixes with every thing too. No more white salty crap inside of everything. no stuck t stats.
Only negative is price. Buy it in premix 50/50 from chevron distributor. Don't ask me why chevron sells 2 gal of 50 50 delo cheaper than one gal of Concentrate.
Ever wonder why you don't change pumps and t stats like back in the day. OAT coolant is about 95% why.
Delo and dexcool are the same except for the additve for CAT spec in delo. For a sled, dexcool is just fine and has no disadvantage to delo.

Like last year on the 013 xm's they lke to run 1 inch down fom full mark don't remove cap to fill it up, you will be not so plesently surprized how much coolant you wil lose it will gyser out even at stone cold.. just be advised, leave the cap on and put a mark on where your coolant level is now it will still be there 1 yr from now .
