Prevents Metallic Corrosion
AMSOIL Antifreeze
& Coolant adheres to metal. It self-seals hairline cracks in welds and seams to prevent leaks, without additional stop-leak products or fibrous materials. Independent tests reveal AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant surpassed standards for metallic corrosion. It plates metal to protect even when exposed to acids and salt spray.
Standard allowances for loss in aluminum and solder are less than 60 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant lost 0 mg in aluminum and less than 6mg in solder.
Standards for iron, steel, copper and brass allow a maximum loss of less than 20 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant never exceeded a 3 mg loss in any of those metals in a testing period that was run for 10 weeks, three weeks longer than required tests.
Greater Benefits
AMSOIL Anitfreeze
& Coolant contains a proprietary poly organic acid technology. It eliminates the need for supplemental coolant additives and recharging cooling systems. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant provides extended service life in all gasoline and diesel vehicles. It can be used for seven years or 250,000 miles in passenger cars, light-duty trucks, vans and recreational vehicles. It last seven years or 750,000 miles in over-the-road diesel trucks. Also for motorcycles, ATVs snowmobiles and closed marine applications.
AMSOIL Antifreeze and engine Coolant lasts linger than conventional products. Is dyed neutral yellow and is compatible with all ethylene and propylene antifreeze and coolant formulations on the market, including DEX-Cool, Sierra and Zerex.
Beyond Today’s
AMSOIL Antifreeze
& Coolant (ANT) is formulated to provide benefits far beyond those found in today’s conventional antifreeze and coolant products. This revolutionary formulation provides maximum antifreeze and cooling protection in the most extreme temperatures and operating conditions. And unlike conventional ethylene glycol based products, which are highly toxic and even fatal, AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is formulated with propylene glycol.
It is biodegradable and requires no special disposal costs or procedures in most areas. Above all, its low toxicity limits the threat to children, pets or wildlife. It is also compatible with fully formulated diesel antifreezes and other organic acid technology and hybrid organic technology formulations.
Corrosion Test
The Aluminum Corrosion Test measures the corrosion protection properties of Dominator Coolant Boost in modern automobile and high-performance race engines with aluminum cylinder heads. A cast aluminum puck was heated to 275f at 28PSI and exposed to the test coolant mixture for one week. Weight loss of less than 1.0 mg is required to pass the test.
Straight water had a weight loss of 3.97 mg/cm2/wk, Water with AMSOIL Coolant Boost had a weight loss of 0.14 mg/cm2/wk. Test results show water treated with Coolant Boost easily passed the Aluminum Corrosion Test.
Enhanced Corrosion Protection
Racers demand lower engine operating temperatures in order to achieve maximum efficiency and horsepower on the track, while the straight water coolant used by many racers opens engines up to damaging radiator and water pump corrosion. New AMSOIL Dominator Coolant Boost (RDCB) provides racers and motorists with significantly lower engine operating temperatures, quicker engine warm-up times and advanced corrosion protection.
Dominator Coolant Boost is formulated with proprietary tiered surfactant technology, providing quick and effective heat transfer inside radiator and cylinder heads, which results in reduced operating temperatures, more efficient operation, increased horsepower and significantly reduced engine warm-up times in cold weather. Coolant Boost also contains a robust mixture of corrosion inhibitors that protect the radiator, heater core, water pump, cylinder heads, engine block and intake manifold from the damaging effects of corrosion.

The hazards of Anti Freeze
E
ver since I was a little kid my dad taught me to never leave anti freeze on the ground when pouring it into your car. I would always ask him why? He told me that it would hurt animals that drank the extra that was spilled. He said that it tasted good, but was deadly to those animals or humans that drank the Anti Freeze. If your a human and drink it some of the side effects could be diarrhea or vomiting. If you continue to drink it you could become very paranoid and start seeing things.
With cats and animals the taste of the anti-freeze tastes good and they love to drink it. If a animal does drink it then in the kidneys crystals will form which would be deadly to the animal. One way to combat the drinking of anti freeze would be to add something to make the fluid taste bad or smell bad which would help keep animals and humans from drinking it.
