Does Cooling System Care Confuse You?


(NC)-When standing in the antifreeze/coolant aisle at the local auto parts store, are you left scratching your head? Or is changing your coolant something you won't even consider tackling because it seems too difficult? With multiple formulas to choose from, the antifreeze market has become cluttered and confusing for many motorists.

But it doesn't have to be. In fact, there are new formulas that offer a universal solution. For example, Prestone longlife Antifreeze/Coolant is compatible with any antifreeze/coolant - regardless of colour - and can be used with antifreeze/coolant in all makes and models of cars and light duty trucks.

"This patented formula provides a high degree of performance durability and carefully balanced protection against temperature extremes and rust corrosion for all cooling system metals, including aluminum," said Megan Currie, Honeywell Consumer Product Group product manager.

Currie also recommends that during a complete flush and fill, you take advantage of a radiator flush product to help remove any heavy rust or scale deposits.

"These deposits can dramatically restrict coolant flow and reduce heat transfer, which may lead to your vehicle overheating or breaking down."

In a product like Prestone Super Radiator Cleaner, a super chelating additive effectively removes heavy rust and scale deposits by drawing metal oxides into solution. Though strong enough to help restore maximum cooling system efficiency, this non-toxic, non-acidic product, if used as directed, is easy to use and safe for all cooling system metals.
