FAQ:
Are there any precautions necessary if I've been using another brand of coolant additive?
We recommend flushing the cooling
system prior to initial use of Purple Ice.
FAQ: Can Purple Ice
be used with Dex-Cool® antifreeze?
Yes. Purple Ice is recommended for any water / glycol pressurized cooling system, including those using the traditional green silicate based glycols or the newer OAT or HOAT
based glycols.
FAQ: What
water / antifreeze concentration is recommended when using Purple Ice?
Purple Ice may be added to any antifreeze / water mix;
however, testing has shown higher water concentrations yield greater cooling
benefits. While Purple Ice does contain corrosion inhibitors as well
as lubricants to compensate for a lower antifreeze / water concentration,
Royal Purple recommends a minimum of 20 percent antifreeze concentration
be used in street driven vehicles because Purple Ice has no effect
on the boiling and / or freezing point of water.
FAQ: How much
Purple Ice do I need to add to my cooling system?
When using Purple Ice with an antifreeze / water
mix, Royal Purple recommends adding 1 ounce of Purple Ice per quart of cooling system capacity.
For straight water (racing) applications, Royal Purple recommends adding 2 ounces of Purple Ice
per quart of cooling system capacity.
FAQ: How often should I
add Purple Ice to my radiator?
When used with antifreeze, Purple Ice should be added
once a year or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first,
in order to maintain proper performance. When using Purple Ice in a cooling system running straight water,
Purple Ice should be added once a year or every 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
FAQ: Will adding too much
Purple Ice harm my cooling system?
No. A higher concentration of Purple Ice than
recommended won’t offer any additional cooling benefit nor will it have any adverse effects
on the engine or cooling system.
FAQ: Can Purple Ice be
used in diesel engines?
Yes. Purple Ice can be used in diesel engines for improved
heat transfer as well as reduced cavitation.
Did You Know?
Purple Ice provides complete aluminum corrosion / electrolysis protection even in straight water racing applications.
Purple Ice — Advanced Product for a Cooler Engine
Purple Ice’s unique active wetting technology provides better cooling across a much wider range
of engine coolant temperatures.
Other wetting agent products provide wetting across a much narrower range of temperatures than
Purple Ice.
