Howdy all, was at Advance Auto (used to be Western Auto) this afternoon
picking up some plugs and brake fluid and saw a display with gallon
containers of this ProBlend brand radiator cooler stuff. It's supposed to
make your coolant run "up to 28 degrees cooler".
The only reference to ingredients I could find on the container was
"contains petroleum distillates". The instructions said to pour the whole
gallon in ($15) and add another gallon of distilled water to end up with
what they called a "summer blend of 80% water and 20% ethylene glycol".
Is this basically just a surfactant like Redline's Water Wetter or is it
something totally different?
Is there any truth to their 80/20% "summer blend" claim? Should I not be
running a 50/50 mix of water and coolant in the summer months? Next weekend
I'm due to fly around Blackhawk Farms for a day and would like to have my
cooling system working at peak efficiency. The coolant that's in there now
is just over a year old with about 24K miles on it.
