ZEREX™ Pink Fully Formulated HD Antifreeze/Coolant is a low-silicate formula charged with special inhibitors to protect heavy duty diesel engines from liner pitting and corrosion. Protects from summer boil over, cold weather freeze-up, and corrosion for up to 150,000 miles or 3,000 hours in heavy duty applications.
What is pink antifreeze used for?
Our specially designed formula for Audi ® 1997-2007, Volkswagen ® 1997-2008, Porsche ® 1999-2009, and Jaguar ® 1999 and newer. This technology regulates your engine’s temperature, prevents freezing and protects the engine from corrosion.
Does antifreeze come in pink?
Variations of coolant/antifreeze can come in; pink, red, orange, blue, green, and yellow. This can make it confusing when trying to decide which coolant you need in your vehicle. The different colors can mean different properties of the liquid.
Is all pink coolant the same?
The color of the antifreeze does not indicate any difference in the properties of the coolant. It’s just that different companies use different colors, so consumers know which product they’re using just by looking at it.
Is red and pink antifreeze the same?
The pink coolant is an OAT (organic acid technology) that typically has a longer service life. The red coolant on the other hand is an IAT (inorganic acid technology) that is considered to be more “conventional” but still longer lasting than some other coolants on the market.
What happens if you mix pink and green antifreeze?
If you mix one of these coolant types with another one, it will weaken the corrosion inhibitors of the stronger one. However, it won’t be a problem if you mix a small amount of traditional antifreeze with OAT. According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the amount of IAT could be up to 15%.
What happens if you use the wrong color antifreeze?
It’s important to note that the type of coolant you should use can’t accurately be identified by color. Using the wrong coolant can lead to corrosion and other damages to the radiator, water pump, radiator hoses, cylinder gasket, and more.
Does the color of antifreeze matter?
The truth is, color is not a reliable predictor for what type of coolant you have. For example, OAT coolants are usually orange, yellow, red or purple.
What color is universal antifreeze?
Traditional North American “green” antifreeze, the original “universal” formula that everybody used until the introduction of today’s extended-life coolants.
Can you mix pink and yellow antifreeze?
You can mix two different colors of the same kind of coolant without any problem whatsoever.
Can I mix pink and red coolant?
Red and pink are considered “compatible”, meaning it’s not going to ruin the cooling system.
Can you mix orange and pink antifreeze?
Anyways, I can report that you can safely mix orange Dexcool and pink G-12. It’s not recommended, but it works fine. Of course, mixing distilled water with either the pink or the orange is better than mixing the two together.
What do the different colors of antifreeze mean?
“In days gone by, the colour of coolant was determined by the type of chemicals used to prevent corrosion — meaning you could tell a lot about the type of coolant used by its colour. “Older coolants that used Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) were usually blue or green in colour.
Is pink coolant better?
If you have an aluminum radiator, the pink “super long life” coolant is likely the best choice. It doesn’t require the same number of flushes or changes to maintain its benefits, but the cost is a bit higher. When you don’t mind having a more frequent change, the red is suitable for most Toyota vehicles.
What is red pink antifreeze?
Product Description. PEAK ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY ANTIFREEZE + COOLANT for ASIAN VEHICLES – RED/PINK 50/50 PREDILUTED is an ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant specifically developed for use in any Asian vehicle requiring a Red or Pink phosphate-enhanced organic acid technology (POAT) formulation.
