What is long or extended life antifreeze?
Long life or extended life antifreeze generally means antifreezes that contain organic acid inhibitors (OAT). Partial organic acid or Hybrid technology was developed due to seal and system component incompatibility with early OAT products. These products are available from several manufacturers under various brand names, but in general all carry the long/extended service life description.
