5 Benefits of Antifreeze / Coolant
Or maybe it’s 40 degrees Celsius and your car is speeding down the highway like the wind without any risk of overheating. In both cases, engine additives do their best to keep your car’s engine running smoothly in all conditions.
It is a green or pale yellow liquid that mixes with water in cars, trucks, and other vehicles to keep the radiator from overheating and freezing. This is because adding glycol to water provides the ideal temperature range for engines to operate at greater efficiency.
Antifreeze/coolants have many benefits that have made them a necessity in vehicles over time. Here we will discuss some of the benefits that these coolants provide.
1) Contributes to maintaining optimal fuel economy
Antifreeze/coolants are responsible for maintaining the life of your car’s engine. Such fluids operate at the right temperature within the body of your car to maintain its life, protecting and lubricating all of its components.
2) Reduces maintenance costs and downtime
Multiple bench, lab, and fleet tests have been conducted to ensure that these antifreezes protect various parts of your vehicle. These parts include the radiator, water pump, wet sleeve, and all the polymers and metals found in your vehicle’s engine.
3) Protects your engine
These antifreeze/coolants contain a concentrated blend of high-quality, long-lasting inhibitors that are proven to guarantee up to 12,000 hours or 600,000 miles of protection against extreme temperatures, corrosion, rust, limescale, and premature water pump failure.
4) Compatible with other products
These products are manufactured using Nitrous Organic Acid Technology (NOAT), which makes the antifreeze/coolants compatible with other long-lasting and durable NOAT antifreeze/coolants. NOAT also makes these coolants compatible with diesel-powered commercial vehicle engines and stationary engines.
5) Prevents vehicle breakdowns
Approximately 40% of all breakdowns on the road are due to problems with the vehicle’s cooling system. However, if used correctly, these antifreeze/coolants can protect your vehicle for at least one year.
