What Coolant for Detroit Diesel 12v71T
I have two Detroit Diesel 12v71T circa 1983 but no manuals and need to know what type of coolant to use. Any ideas or Brand recommendations would be truly appreciated

Not a good idea to use automotive type inhibitors in 71 series detroits as they are high in phosphate and silicates. Detroit recommend Powercool plus 6000 for marine use.
