Product Information

Full details

This Mishimoto Liquid Chill Radiator Coolant Additive is for car enthusiasts seeking to improve their engine's cooling system efficiency. Its key benefit is reducing engine temperatures and protecting against corrosion. A potential caveat is that it's a supplemental product, not a replacement for proper coolant maintenance. This additive is designed to boost the effectiveness of any existing coolant in liquid-cooled engines, offering enhanced thermal performance and maintaining the integrity of your cooling system.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How often should I use this coolant additive?

The additive is typically recommended for use during a standard coolant flush and fill. It is designed to remain effective within the coolant for the coolant's service life, usually 1-5 years depending on the coolant type.

Can I use this in my motorcycle or other non-car engine?

This product is specifically formulated for automotive liquid-cooled engines. While it may offer benefits in other liquid-cooled applications, its performance and compatibility have only been validated for cars and trucks.

Will this additive make my existing coolant last longer?

The additive enhances the performance and protective properties of your existing coolant but does not extend its lifespan beyond the manufacturer's recommended change intervals. Regular coolant replacement is still necessary.

What is the difference between this additive and a full coolant replacement?

This additive enhances the thermal transfer and corrosion protection of your current coolant. A full coolant replacement involves draining the old coolant and refilling with a new, appropriate coolant mixture, which may or may not contain similar additives.

Is it safe to mix this with a water-only cooling system?

While it can be added to a water-based system, it is highly recommended to use a proper 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water for freeze protection and optimal performance, especially in varied climates. This additive works best within a balanced coolant mixture.

How much of the 4 fl oz bottle should I use?

The recommended dosage varies by cooling system size. Generally, a 4 fl oz bottle is sufficient for cooling systems between 10-16 quarts (approx. 9.5-15 liters). Always consult the product label or Mishimoto's technical resources for precise instructions based on your vehicle's capacity.

Troubleshooting

Coolant temperature still high after adding product

Ensure the correct amount of additive was used. Verify the cooling system is full and free of air pockets. Check for other cooling system issues like a faulty thermostat, clogged radiator, or worn water pump.

Additive appears to be separating or clumping

This is uncommon. Ensure the product was mixed thoroughly and that no other incompatible chemicals were added to the system. If persistent, consider a coolant flush and reapplication.

Difficulty pouring the additive

Use a funnel if needed. Ensure the engine is completely cool to avoid hot coolant splash.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively lowers engine temperatures.
  • Provides essential corrosion protection for the cooling system.
  • Compatible with all coolant types.
  • Simple and inexpensive performance enhancement.
  • Easy to use and store.

Cons

  • Does not replace regular coolant flushes and maintenance.
  • Results may vary based on engine type and operating conditions.
  • Requires careful measurement for optimal effectiveness.
  • Primarily an enhancement, not a solution for severe cooling system issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the engine is cool before opening the radiator cap.
  2. Determine the correct amount of additive to use based on your cooling system's capacity (typically a few ounces per gallon of coolant capacity). Refer to the product packaging for precise ratios.
  3. Pour the recommended amount of Mishimoto Liquid Chill Additive directly into the radiator fill neck or the coolant reservoir.
  4. Replace the radiator cap securely.
  5. Run the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature to circulate the additive throughout the system. Monitor coolant levels and top off if necessary.

Compatibility:

This additive is designed to be compatible with all standard automotive coolants, including conventional green, high-performance orange/red (OAT), and long-life yellow/blue (HOAT) types. It can be mixed with antifreeze and water mixtures without adverse reactions.

Care:

While the additive contains corrosion inhibitors, it does not eliminate the need for regular cooling system maintenance. Periodically check your coolant level and condition. Flush and replace your coolant according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals. The additive itself does not require specific care beyond proper storage in its original container.
