Solution helps reduce radiator, transmission temperature
Super Radiator Cooler increases the wetting ability of water, resulting in an improved transfer of heat in an engine’s radiator and cooler cylinder head. The solution also protects against internal engine corrosion, is compatible with all antifreeze and coolants and can be used in gas and diesel engines. One quart of the solution can be used for every 20 quarts of coolant/ water mixture.
