Engine ice Hi-performance coolant - tyds008 - engine ice 81081100

Product Information

A mix between IAT and OAT coolants, it is designed for new cars. This contains added silicates that increase aluminium protection and prevents corrosion. Additives are also present to prevent rusting. To differentiate these a little easier, HOAT coolants are found in yellow, turquoise, pink, blue or purple colors. However, that changes when the car's suddenly loaded with luggage and passengers for a long summer trip in hot weather, which is when problems in the system can show up. The best thing to do when you aren’t sure what kind of coolant/antifreeze is in your car is to use a universal coolant that’s safe to mix with other fluids. Some premium coolant/antifreeze, like Prestone, can be safely mixed with other types of coolant, so you get peace of mind that the products will work safely without causing any problems within the cooling system.” What Do Coolant/Antifreeze Colours Mean? Well, you could it take to a mechanic who will be able to work out which type of coolant is currently in the engine. But by far the simplest and easiest thing to do is to use Prestone High-Performance Coolant/Antifreeze. Many cars are only used on local journeys. On short trips, the engine barely reaches normal operating temperature, so the cooling system isn't tested.

While yellow, blue, orange and red are the most common coolant/antifreeze colours, you may encounter others, including purple, pink and turquoise. These colours may be associated with different chemical compounds, like Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) phosphate coolant, but as outlined above, the colour needn’t have any bearing on the make-up of the fluid itself. Which Coolant/Antifreeze Should I Use in My Car? OAT and HOAT type coolants will also use organic additives to prevent against scaling, corrosion and rust. Using a coolant with organic additives will prolong the life of your coolant system’s rubber hoses, as they don’t degrade rubber as fast as the green IAT coolant. For one, it is anti-corrosion and safe for the aluminum cooling systems that are seen on most motorcycles. It also won’t deteriorate any seals, rubber, or plastic on the motorcycle. The hybrid additive technology allows for optimal cooling no matter the conditions. It prevents freezing up to -35°F and has a boiling point of 275°F. One user wrote, “I've used this in my last two motocross motors, never had an overheating problem in the hot weather or muddy conditions.” I’ll break down everything you need to know about the different kinds of anti-freezes here and let you know what will happen if you decide to mix them.

Best Valuable Coolant—Star Brite Star Cool Premium Synthetic PG CoolantRiders should first evaluate what type of cooling system their motorcycle utilizes before even thinking about coolants. There are two popular types that depend on engine configuration. Water-based coolants are approximately 50% water. Some of them come pre-mixed, while others you may have to add distilled water yourself. There are different types of engine coolants on the market, also called antifreeze. It's important to buy the right one for your vehicle. Simply mixing the two coolants (IAT and OAT) would not be the solution (as expected) and lead to an even more corrosive mixture. However, the final breakthrough in coolant technology was brought about by HOAT or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology. Theoretically, it is impossible to mix IAT and OAT (as mentioned before), but HOAT allows both to work in tandem, while offering excellent rust protection, very high B.P and low F.P and lasts beyond 5 years (up to 1.8L km in some cases).

GM manufactured Dexcool and promised that you’d only need to flush your system every 150,000-miles if you used it. This is a much longer service life than regular anti-freeze, so you can see why its popularity surged. Thanks to the high performance formula, corrosion is kept at bay. This is a coolant that isn’t going to damage any of the copper, aluminum, magnesium, or steel components in your motorcycle. It even contains propylene glycerol, which helps to prevent pump gasket failures. Now, I will take a closer look at why it’s not a good idea to mix different types of coolant. Different Types of Anti-FreezeThere are highly toxic ingredients that can be found in many types of coolant. Ethylene glycol, for example, is poisonous and toxic to humans. Keep in mind we’re talking about types of coolant here – not brands. Most times, the brands simply switch the names but use the same formulas, so as long as they’re the same type, you’re still in great shape. What if You’re in a Pinch?

When you decide to change your antifreeze/coolant liquid make sure you replace it with the same color or that your car is compatible with other colors (see owner manual). You only want to fill the coolant so that it’s between the min and max lines, which you should be able to see. While green and orange anti-freeze products are by far the most common, you can also find vehicles that use a pink, blue, or gold anti-freeze. This largely comes down to your vehicle’s manufacturer and what kind of coolant they decided to put in the vehicle.If the dilution level is left too weak over the winter, the water in the cooling system could freeze and cause engine damage. Now, water’s great at taking on heat and giving heat off, but it also has some undesirable properties when it comes to cooling mechanics. Namely, it freezes in low temperatures, boils at a relatively low temperature, and often speeds rust & corrosion in mechanical parts. Don’t… ever mix OAT and IAT coolants if you’re not 100% sure that they’re compatible. The results can be horrendous, with the potential for significant damage and an eye-watering repair bill.
