This weekend I got back to the family farm and my father was bragging how their new oil supplier got them bulk coolant to use in everything as they had been going to Walmart and buying coolant before. I go to look at the barrels and the coolant clearly has G05 on the side. They run all sorts of different equipment, however they rarely flush coolant. Usually it is top offs and when a radiator or water pump is changed is the most new the equipment will see.
The equipment in question ranges from a couple CAT wheel loaders, a Doosan wheel loader, Case IH tractors (from an old H and 656 to newer MX230), multiple Chevy and Ford trucks, International semi trucks, stationary engines, etc. The CAT's run a yellow coolant, the tractors are/were all green coolant new, and the Chevy and Ford trucks vary on age.
It makes me hesitant to recommend them a universal (no phos, silicate, and nitrate) coolant, where the old diesels all run green. I know the jack of all trade, master of none coolants will probably be fine but want reassurance before I have them flush all the systems they put G05 into already.
