I thought I'd let you guys know about a product Amsoil has that is of special interest to 1125 owners. I'm embedding a pdf file of an analysis done by an independent lab of Amsoil Coolant Boost vs. Redline's Water Wetter. Have a look! Coolant Boost vs. Water Wetter | ||

Wow, I expected at least some discussion about this stuff. Anyone want to share an opinion or observation? | ||

Well, I've never heard of it. Thats about all I can add  | ||

Just use DI water. | ||

Whoa! I did a quick check to educate myself a little on the difference between DI water and distilled water. Sounds like you DON'T want to use DI water in your system from what I've read...briefly. DI water sounds like it would corrode the innards of a colling system due to the fact that it lacks ions (thus the terminology: DI) and it would seek them from the system components, resulting in corrosion. I'm not a chemist, but I read it on the internet, so it must be true! But I'll start with a question: Why not straight distilled water with the Amsoil? The literature specifically says use only distilled water with a 50/50 mix. | ||

Dennis; I actually watched the webinar on Coolant Boost twice trying to understand the answer to your question. What they said was that distilled water hampers the effectiveness of Coolant Boost. Coolant Boost was designed and formulated to work with tap or softened water. They did not explain why a using distilled water in a 50/50 mix with anti-freeze was acceptable. This is a good question for me to forward on to their tech people tomorrow. I'll try to remember to do that. | ||

If it requires any kind of Glycol, what's the point? It still won't pass tech. | ||

It doesn't require Glycol. Coolant Boost was formulated to work with tap or softened water. I'm sure that's because racers aren't always going to have access to distilled water at a racetrack. |
