Coolant Chemistry: Understanding the Ingredients and their Functions
At the heart of engine maintenance is an often-underappreciated component: the coolant. This liquid engine part, coursing through vehicles, is a blend of science and engineering meticulously designed to prevent overheating, freezing, corrosion, and wear.
Zerex from Valvoline is the #1 selling OEM-approved coolant brand. Zerex G05 Antifreeze/Coolant is proven to maximize engine life in newer Ford, Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz cars, light trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. Suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines, its original long-life chemistry is specially formulated with the highest quality virgin ethylene glycol and Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT). Zerex is made for your car and protects better than industry standards against corrosion, leaking, deposits as well as freezing and boiling – the four main causes of cooling system failure, which is the leading cause of engine breakdown. Our low-silicate, reduced pH, phosphate-free formula with Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) protects all cooling system metals (including aluminum) from corrosion. It contains nitrites that protects diesel-engine cylinder liners from cavitation, while deposit control additives guard against hardwater deposits and scale. So radiators, water pumps and other metal cooling system parts stay clean and your antifreeze flows and functions properly. Whether you’re topping off your radiator or doing a complete system flush, trust Zerex G05 Antifreeze/Coolant. Made for your car. Made by Valvoline.
