AND IT GIVES LUBRICATION PROTECTION FOR THE EXTERNAL MOUNTED WATER PUMPS. POUR IT IN STRAIGHT FROM THE BOTTLE - YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. 50/50 IS GOOD TO -32 DEGREES FARENHEIT AND IF IT GETS THAT COLD IN KANSAS WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE. I ALWAYS RUN THE ZEREX 50/50 PRE-MIX ORIGINAL FORMULA IN MY OLD BUICKS. THIS NEW STUFF WILL ATTACK THE SOLDER IN THE OLD RADIATORS OVER TIME. THERE WAS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE IN OUR 1915/1918 BUICK McLAUGHLIN NEWSLETTER ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THAT DEALT WITH THIS EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT IN OUR 'OLD' VEHICLES. THERE ARE ALUMINUM BLOCKS AND RADIATOR CORES THAT NEED THIS PROTECTION. I THINK NICKELROADSTER IS RIGHT IN REGARD TO THE ANTI CORROSION PROPERTIES IN THE NEWER MODERN VEHICLES. The widespread use of coolant started in the sixties here and many problems we had experienced in the motortrade earlier, like cavitation and electrolysis, simply faded away.
It should not foam and long life options should be avoided (use glycol based products). It should always be mixed to recommendations or it can make an engine run hot.
It should also prevent corrosion and sludging. It raises the boiling point and therefore keeps coolant against localized cylinder block hot spots inside the system. No problems for 16 years!Īnti-freeze is more properly called coolant these days and does many things other than frost protection. I would always drain the radiator and block for winter. Water is easier to use and replace if you should have a boil over and it does not have adverse effects on paint. I had too much overflow from the antifreeze foaming up. I tried using antifreeze in my Model A with poor results. Modern antifreeze is design for use in pressurized systems so it will not foam over. If your car is a 1930 I would recommend only using water in the radiator. None of us wants to pull and rebuild our cars' engines. Brands to be AVOIDED are all Prestone lines and Zerex's G-05 in the Gold-color container. Also, the product may be labelled "Safe for Older Cars"-meaning 10 years old at most. You cannot tell by the color of the antifreeze if it's safe to use. The "Silver Ghost Association" Rolls Royce people have documented massive cooling system failures apparently caused by this anti-freeze product.Īntifreeze that can be used safely in our cars uses older-fashioned Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) additive. It attacks the gaskets and gasket cements in our cars, causing major leaks and forcing ultra-expensive repairs. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should an " Extended Life" antifreeze, which utilizes Organic Additive Technology ( OAT, H-OAT, or N-OAT) as one of its chemicals, ever be used in our cars over 10 years old. This is what was part of that duscussion: Installing Evans waterless coolant eliminates many problems associated with water in conventional water-based cooling systems, while increasing reliability and engine life.You want to look at is the Buick General forum post # 283322 from Jresponse #18.Evans is the only manufacturer of waterless antifreeze.Waterless coolants provide sufficient heat transfer, boil at a higher temperature, and are non-corrosive.Water has superior heat transfer capabilities but water’s low boiling point is close to the operating temperature of an engine, and water can cause corrosion.Waterless coolant is a glycol-based fluid that is ready to use, no water required. Most engine coolants/antifreezes are a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water.Water-based antifreezes have been used in car engines for about a century, but water can cause major problems inside engines, including corrosion, boil-over, and engine breakdowns. Waterless coolants can prevent engine overheating and reduce cooling system maintenance, and can last much longer than a water-based coolant.
