Coolants - Antifreeze, Race Coolant & Water Wetter for Trucks & Cars

What This Coolant Collection Covers

Street and performance coolant

Choose conventional antifreeze, long life coolant or a vehicle specific formula when you need freeze protection, corrosion resistance and dependable heat transfer for daily driving.

Track cooling additives

Water wetter and chill additives improve heat transfer in systems that run approved water based coolant. They are popular for track days, autocross and high load street builds.

Choose the Correct Coolant Chemistry

Premixed versus concentrate

Premixed coolant is ready to pour. Concentrate lets you set the water ratio with distilled water, which is useful when a build needs a specific freeze point or water content.

Do not mix chemistries

Match the chemistry and specification called for by the vehicle manufacturer. Mixing incompatible formulas can reduce inhibitor protection and contaminate the cooling system.

Cooling System Service Essentials

Flush before changing families

A radiator flush and distilled water rinse help remove old fluid before switching chemistry. Inspect hoses, clamps and the reservoir while the system is open.

Fill and bleed correctly

Use the factory bleed procedure to remove trapped air. Confirm the final level after a complete heat cycle and cool down.

Heat Control for Street and Track Cars

Water wetter applications

Water wetter is intended to reduce surface tension and support heat transfer in a properly prepared cooling system. It complements a healthy radiator, water pump and thermostat.

Waterless coolant applications

Waterless coolant can suit dedicated builds that are converted according to the manufacturer process. It is not a substitute for repairing leaks, air pockets or a restricted radiator.

How to Choose the Correct Option

• Confirm the cooling specification in the owner manual or service information.
• Choose premixed coolant for convenience or concentrate when you need to set the ratio.
• Use distilled water when a concentrate or additive requires water.
• Check compatibility with aluminum, cast iron and mixed metal cooling systems.
• Use a flush when changing coolant chemistry or servicing neglected systems.
• Inspect the radiator cap, hoses, clamps and reservoir before refilling.
• Bleed air from the system using the vehicle specific procedure.
• Check freeze protection with a tester where winter conditions apply.
• Use a race additive only within the event and sanctioning body rules.
• Never open a hot pressurized cooling system.

Common Questions

What is the difference between antifreeze and coolant?

Antifreeze is the concentrated glycol based fluid. Coolant commonly describes the mixed fluid that circulates through the engine, radiator and heater core.

Should I buy premixed coolant or concentrate?

Choose premixed coolant for a ready to use fill. Choose concentrate when you need to mix with distilled water for the specified ratio.

Can I mix different coolant colors?

Color is not a reliable compatibility guide. Use the manufacturer specification and do not mix formulas unless the label confirms compatibility.

What does water wetter do?

Water wetter is a cooling additive designed to improve heat transfer in a correctly prepared cooling system. It does not repair a mechanical cooling problem.

When should I flush the cooling system?

Flush the system when changing incompatible coolant chemistry, after contamination, or when maintenance guidance calls for complete fluid replacement.

Does race coolant work for street cars?

A race focused coolant can be appropriate when it meets the vehicle requirements and local temperature needs. Verify freeze protection before winter street use.

Can waterless coolant be mixed with standard coolant?

Waterless coolant systems require a controlled conversion process. Follow the manufacturer instructions and remove water based coolant before converting.

How do I know the cooling system has air in it?

Erratic temperature readings, weak heater output and overflow from the reservoir can indicate trapped air. Follow the vehicle bleed procedure after service.

Should I replace the radiator cap during coolant service?

Inspect the cap seal and pressure rating during service. Replace a cap that is damaged, weak or not rated for the application.

What else should I inspect when changing coolant?

Inspect radiator hoses, clamps, the reservoir, water pump area, thermostat housing and radiator for leaks or damage before refilling.
