Improved compatibility, faster engine warm-up times and reduced engine temperatures highlight the new formulation. Dominator Coolant Boost has been reformulated with the latest organic-acid technology. The new technology adds to the benefits provided by the previous formulation, including reduced engine temperatures by up to 25ºF (previously 19ºF) in straight-water applications and up to 54 percent faster engine warm-up times (previously 45 percent). Organic acids are more robust and longer-lasting than inorganic acids, offering excellent resistance to scaling, drop-out and corrosion. They also contribute to improved compatibility; the new Dominator Coolant Boost formulation can be mixed with soft, tap and distilled water, in addition to any brand of antifreeze. Users will also notice the product is now orange in color. While racers derive the most value from Dominator Coolant Boost, it provides benefits for everyday motorists, too. Helps Racers...

John Baker | Mar 2, 2016 9:00:00 AM Nearly 40 percent of engine failures can be attributed to cooling-system issues. Clearly, it pays to take care of your vehicle’s cooling system. Sludge/slime are just one of the common symptoms of larger problems. Left unchecked, it’ll plug the radiator, heater core or fluid passages, resulting in overheating and expensive repairs. What causes it, and what can you do about it? • Additives dropping out – coolant consists of a base (typically ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) mixed with additives and water. The base is primarily responsible for providing freeze and boil-over protection. The additives guard against corrosion, cavitation and scaling. Mixing of incompatible coolants, however, can cause the additives to “drop out” of the ...

Outstanding Cooling-System Protection   John Baker   | May 12, 2015 2:15:00 PM A vehicle’s engine generates enough heat to destroy itself, and it is up to the cooling system to keep the engine within a safe operating temperature range. Preventive maintenance, including fluid maintenance, is essential to extending radiator and engine life and keeping them in top working order. The new line of premium  AMSOIL Antifreeze/Coolants  provides outstanding protection for cooling systems. It includes a new formulation for  Propylene Glycol Antifreeze & Coolant  and two new ethylene glycol-based coolants:  Passenger Car/Light Truck Antifreeze & Coolant  and  Heavy-Duty Antifreeze & Coolant . The two ethylene glycol coolants are pre-mixed with 50 percent water. The propylene glycol coolant is a concentrate and not diluted with water. All three products provide pricing and drain interval recommendations that are better aligned w...
