Spec Oil TDS Antifreeze Super Longlife Premix Coolant

SPEC OIL SUPER LONGLIFE PREMIX COOLANT TDS

DESCRIPTION

Spec Oil Super Longlife Premix Coolant is a premium performance, environmentally sensitive pre-diluted coolant, anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitor, based on extended life organic acid Carboxylate Technology plus an additional nitrite corrosion inhibitor in ethylene glycol. Provides long term protection of the cooling systems of heavy and light duty diesel engines and also gasoline engines. Specifically designed for use where the engine manufacturer requires nitrite inhibited product (eg Caterpillar).

RECOMMENDED FOR

• High temperature aluminium engine blocks.
• Passenger car gasoline and diesel engines.
• Light duty commercial vehicle gasoline and diesel engines.
• Heavy duty diesel engines fitted with “wet” or “dry” liners, in both on and off highway service.

Recommended maximum service intervals are:

• Passenger car & light truck commercial vehicles                  250,000 km or 5 years
• Heavy duty diesel, on-road                                                     800 000 km or 8 years
• Heavy duty diesel, off-road                                                    15,000 hours or 8 years                                                         

CHANGEOVER PROCEDURE

Check that the cooling system is clean in good condition. Carry out any repairs that are necessary. Drain the cooling system including radiator, engine clock, heater core, oil coolers and after cooler, remove drain plugs and hoses as necessary to achieve this.

Flush the system using the manufacturer’s instructions, if none are available follow the procedure below.

• Close all drains, reconnect hoses, fill with clean soft water, run the engine to operating temperature with the heater on.
• Shut down; allow to cool, drain the system again. Repeat this until the cooling system is clean and free from contaminants, previous coolant and any rust or scale.
• If a filter is present replace it with a new filter that does not contain Supplemental Coolant Additives.

BENEFITS

Saves time and money:

One coolant does it all. Very low depletion rate and complete cooling system protection of the organic acid inhibitor removes the need for supplementary additives for cavitation erosion protection, and reduces the need to regularly test inhibitor level and add extra additive to maintain the inhibitor concentration.

Reduced maintenance costs:

Unique Carboxylate Technology inhibitor system prevents wet liner cavitation erosion and provides exceptional protection to aluminium surfaces under heat transfer conditions. Fewer abrasive dissolved solids means fewer water pump seal failures.

Extended service life:

Very low depletion rate of the organic acid inhibitor ensures long term corrosion protection under all operating conditions.

Complete cooling system protection:

Unique Carboxylate Technology inhibitor system provides corrosion protection for all engine and cooling system metals, including aluminium. Iron, steel, copper and solder alloys. Selective corrosion protection (only where it is needed) allows the remaining surfaces to be free of inhibitor film for unrestricted heat transfer.

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS

Spec Oil Super Longlife Premix Coolant is recommended for optimum year round protection. In-service top up should be carried out with Afriq Super Longlife Premix Coolant.

The use of Spec Oil Super Longlife Premix Coolant will minimise scale deposits, as de-mineralised water is used in its manufacture. When changing to Spec Oil Super Longlife Premix Coolant, thorough flushing of the cooling system is recommended. Chemical cleaning of the cooling system may be necessary where coolants incorporating hard water have been used.

Traditional phosphate and borate containing coolants exhibit higher pH and reserve alkalinity than the new organic acid based Carboxylate Technology. However, this difference bears no relationship to corrosion control potential. In comparison with conventional coolants, the different inhibitor mechanism of Spec Oil Super Longlife Premix Coolant means reserve alkalinity is of no relevance, and it is able to afford corrosion protection to aluminium and other system metals at much lower pH levels.

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY
