Do coolant additives really work?

Do coolant additives really work?

But over the years we’ve become accustomed to using cooling system wetting agents, as they’ve been proven to work almost every time. Unlike ring sealers in a can and other mysterious leak sealing products that never seem to work, cooling system additives generally do work.

What is purple coolant for?

Purple OEM Coolant is suitable for the cooling systems of petrol, LPG, light and heavy-duty diesel and industrial engines where anti-freeze / anti-boil and anti-corrosion properties are required. It can replace green coolants using P-OAT or PSi-OAT technology (after appropriate flushing).

Who makes the best antifreeze?

1. Editor’s Pick: EVANS Cooling Systems High Performance Waterless Engine Coolant.
2. Best Budget Option: ProLine Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant Full Strength.
3. Best Diesel Option: Zerex G-05 Antifreeze/Coolant.
4. Recochem OEM Pink Premium Antifreeze Concentrate.
5. Zerex Original Green Antifreeze/Coolant, Concentrated.

Can coolant damage plastic?

It provides protection from rust and corrosion and does not harm rubber hoses and plastics. Antifreeze should not corrode metal parts, attack rubber, become viscous at low temperatures, or evaporate readily at the ordinary engine operating temperature.

What chemical is in water wetter?

One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water or a 50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution. In smaller cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart. Add directly through the cooling system fill cap into the radiator or into the overflow tank. Do not open a cooling system while hot.

Can you mix water wetter with antifreeze?

Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems.

Why do you need royal purple ice radiator?

Royal Purple Purple Ice is a high performance synthetic radiator coolant additive for both gasoline and diesel engines. It is formulated to reduce the surface tension of the coolant, which improves heat transfer through the cooling system, while providing additional protection against rust, corrosion, and erosion.

Is it safe to use purple ice with water?

Reduces coolant surface tension to allow greater heat transfer, resulting in lower coolant temperatures Purple Ice is safe to use with water-only or antifreeze / water blends• Purple Ice is compatible with OEM and stock replacement coolants, including extended-life antifreezes

What does purple ice do for your car?

Its advanced 2-in-1 corrosion inhibitor and wetting agent provides year-round defense against corrosion and reduces the surface tension of the radiator coolant to help reduce engine temperatures. Extensive testing confirms Purple Ice reduces coolant temperatures better than comparable products while providing extra corrosion protection.

What kind of coolant does Royal Purple use?

Purple Ice is recommended for any water/glycol pressurized cooling system, including those using the traditional green silicate based glycols or the newer OAT or HOAT based glycols. Royal Purple’s Purple Ice is a high performance radiator conditioner.
