[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11588219, member: 11681"] Unlike some of the competing coolant heat transfer improvement products Purple Ice is a relatively new formula that uses current state of the art water wetting chemistry and the most current corrosion inhibitor technology. It will not produce flaking. However the Ford Gold antifreeze water mixture when spilled or spewed on external under hood surfaces makes a nasty white crusty mess when it drys that is flaky. UGH.. ask me how I know! LOL! [url]http://www.royalpurple.com/product-categories/automotive/#!purple-ice-radiator-coolant-additive[/url] However Purple Ice is not an antifreeze or an antifreeze substitute. It offers zero freeze protection and also does not raise the boiling point of water like antifreeze does. If your region is subject to freezing temperatures use the appropriate minimum percentage of antifreeze in your coolant mixture. There is a chart on the back of most antifreeze bottles to help determine this. Better heat transfer = better cooling and Purple Ice will give better heat transfer even with the standard 50/50 water antifreeze mix. Typically between 4 and 8 degrees. By increasing the water percentage in the mix even better transfer can be obtained. For race track straight water usage or very high water percentage usage we recommend not using distilled or de-ionized water. Antifreeze will pacify the more aggressively corroding distilled water so it's not a significant issue with a 50/50 mix. Purple Ice dosing with a 50/50 water/antifreeze mix is approximately 1 ounce per quart. Purple Ice dosing with a straight water/Purple Ice mix is approximately 2 ounces per quart. [B]Purple Ice dosing with a 70 to 90 percent water/antifreeze mix is approximately 1.5 ounces per quart. This mixture will greatly benefit from the less corrosive generic bottled filtered drinking water that we also recommend with the racing straight water systems.[/B] Purple Ice (part #01600, 12- oz bottle) also dissipates with time and usage and a new dose should be added annually to the existing mixture. No flush or new mixture is needed just a refresh of the Purple Ice dose. [B][SIZE="3"]These cars are getting old. If your I/C pump is not new I recommend taking it apart and cleaning it and also making sure the connections are tight and not corroded.[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Coolant mixtures that are of an unknown age are a huge corrosion risk.[/SIZE][/B] Heater cores, intercooler cores, heat exchangers and radiators are all made of soft expensive aluminum. Compare the price of a coolant flush and renew to the labor and parts price of replacing any of the above and you have your justification to updating your coolant mixtures ASAP if needed. [/QUOTE]
