Dominator® Coolant Boost
|
Product Code: RDCB |
Racers demand lower engine operating
temperatures in order to achieve maximum efficiency and horsepower
on the track, while the straight water coolant used by many racers
opens engines up to damaging radiator and water pump corrosion.
AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost provides racers and motorists
with significantly lower engine operating temperatures, quicker
engine warm-up times and advanced corrosion protection.
Dominator Coolant Boost is formulated with
proprietary tiered surfactant technology, providing quick and
effective heat transfer inside radiators and cylinder heads, which
results in reduced operating temperatures, more efficient operation,
increased horsepower and significantly reduced engine warm-up times
in cold weather. Coolant Boost also contains a robust mixture of
corrosion inhibitors that protect the radiator, heater core, water
pump, cylinder heads, engine block and intake manifold from the
damaging effects of corrosion

Temperature Reduction
Dynamometer Test
To test the temperature reduction capabilities of
Dominator Coolant Boost, dyno tests were performed on a Chevy 350
cubic inch engine with an aluminum block and cylinder heads. Running
the test with both straight water and water treated with Coolant
Boost, the engine was operated at 4,500 rpm until coolant
temperature stabilized.

Aluminum Corrosion Test
The Aluminum Corrosion Test (ASTM D-4340) measures
the corrosion protection properties of Dominator Coolant Boost in
modern automobile and high-performance race engines with aluminum
cylinder heads. A cast aluminum puck was heated to 275°F at 28 PSI
and exposed to the test coolant mixture for one week. Weight loss of
less than 1.0 mg is required to pass the test.

Metal Corrosion Test
The Metal Corrosion Test (ASTM D-2570) measures
corrosion protection properties in automotive cooling systems. Using
ASTM corrosive water designed to simulate hard and corrosive water
in degraded coolant, six metal coupons constructed of the most
common metals in automotive cooling systems were exposed to the test
coolant mixture at 190°F. The coolant was maintained at a
temperature and flow rate equivalent to the operating conditions
seen in most passenger vehicles. Corrosive weight loss suffered
during the test determines the additive's corrosion protection
properties.

Recommendations
Dominator Coolant Boost is recommended with both racing applications
using straight water coolant and automotive applications using 50/50
coolant/water mixtures. |
|
Directions With engine off and cool, make sure cooling system is filled with
selected coolant. Shake bottle and pour calculated amount of Coolant
Boost into radiator. Start engine, turn heat on high and run for 15
minutes. Do NOT use distilled water unless mixed with 50%
antifreeze. |
|
Dosage
For straight water applications, add 2 fl. oz. of Coolant Boost per
quart of tap or softened water. For 50/50 coolant/water
applications, add 1 fl . oz. of Coolant Boost per quart of 50/50
mix. |
|
Frequency In applications using Coolant
Boost with straight water, drain and re-fill the coolant system and
add Coolant Boost once per year or when indicated by color change. A
distinctive pH color change indicates when the pH has fallen to a
point where corrosion can set in. When the Coolant Boost/water
mixture changes from pink to clear, another dosage of Coolant Boost
should be added. Monitoring the pH level will ensure all vital areas
of the cooling system are protected against corrosion.
In applications using Coolant Boost with 50/50
coolant/water mixtures, add Coolant Boost once per year or every
30,000 miles, whichever comes first. Follow coolant manufacturer
recommendations for coolant change intervals.
