Rain or Shine: Get top protection for your radiator with Prestone Coolant

10/25/2009

Mounting auto problems and expenses can get stressful for motorists who always expect their vehicle to perform in tip-top shape. In order to lessen these auto-related worries, especially this rainy season, motorists should adhere to the philosophy of preventive maintenance to avoid further problems and expensive car repair costs.

One vulnerable part of the car that should be kept in check is the radiator, which has a critical function in the engine as the “heat exchanger.” To maintain the engine’s best operating temperature and prevent overheating, the radiator transfers heat from the coolant to the air blown by the fan.

Cooling system maintenance, however, doesn’t need to be expensive. One can actually do it at home using reliable products such as Prestone Coolant. It’s as easy as flushing out the water from your radiator completely and pouring in Prestone Coolant concentrate, half-filled, and the rest with distilled water. Also, topping up is quick by using Prestone Ready-to-use, a pre-blend Prestone concentrate and distilled water.

Rain or shine, night or day, Prestone Coolant offers year-round protection. Unlike water which has a boiling point of only 100°C, Prestone Coolant can reach as high as 136°C. It is an effective boiling retardant that helps fight overheating. Other than its anti-boil features Prestone Coolant also has special inhibitors that provide anti-rust and anti-corrosion protection for the whole cooling system. The radiator can also be subjected to problems such as rust, corrosion, or leaks in its aluminum fins and tubes. These problems can prevent the smooth flow of the coolant through the tubes, thereby jeopardizing the operation of the cooling system.

Even today’s modern vehicles, with all their high-performance attributes, can benefit from the protection offered by Prestone Coolant. These vehicles tend to generate more heat from the air-conditioning, higher thermostat settings, larger engines, exhaust emissions controls, aluminum-made radiators, smaller grilles and openings, and higher road speeds and engine loads — which put more strain on the cooling system.

Prestone Coolant helps in maintaining the engine’s best operating temperature, which is very important in Manila’s roads that are a perennial haven for traffic, especially this rainy season. This reliable product completes the job, providing a safe high-operating temperature for optimum engine performance and the least engine wear.

Millions of users worldwide put their trust on Prestone’s Coolant, for all makes and models of cars and light duty trucks. Its patented formula provides a high degree of performance durability and carefully balanced protection against overheating, rust and corrosion.

Prestone now comes in Prestone Coolant Concentrate and in Prestone Coolant Ready- to-use — both helps prevent overheating, and works better than water alone.
