DOMINATOR Coolant Boost
The latest formulation of DOMINATOR Coolant Boost employs organic-acid technology (OATs), offering superior resistance to scaling, drop-out, and corrosion compared to previous inorganic acid-based formulations. These organic acids ensure improved compatibility, allowing mixing with various water types, including bottled, tap, and distilled, as well as with any brand of antifreeze. Despite these advancements, the treat rate remains unchanged.
Yes, there are no compatibility issues when mixing the previous and new Coolant Boost formulations.
Certainly. Coolant Boost is fully compatible with distilled water.
Straight water serves as a coolant in hot climates where freezing isn't a concern. Additionally, most racetracks prohibit antifreeze to avoid complications during spill clean-ups.
Tiered-surfactant technology involves using surfactants to reduce the surface tension of water and antifreeze. This reduction enhances contact with metal parts, thereby increasing the coolant's efficiency in transferring heat away from the engine's hot components and through the radiator and fan. Unlike many leading coolant additives with just one surfactant, DOMINATOR Coolant Boost employs three, each optimized for different temperature ranges, ensuring enhanced liquid-to-metal contact from vehicle start-up to reaching operating temperature. This results in reduced engine temperatures and faster warm-up times.
Users can anticipate a temperature reduction of up to 8ºF when using a water/antifreeze mix.
DOMINATOR Coolant Boost includes complex polymer dispersants to inhibit deposit formation, lubricate the pump and seals, thus helping prevent wear and potential failure. Moreover, it incorporates a commercial-grade oxygen scavenger, significantly reducing dissolved oxygen molecules in coolant mixtures, thereby inhibiting rust and oxidation.
To accommodate the addition of DOMINATOR Coolant Boost, open the petcock at the radiator's bottom and drain about a pint of coolant. If a petcock isn't available, siphon coolant from the radiator's top. Alternatively, the Coolant Boost can be added to the coolant expansion tank or reservoir, provided the vehicle is regularly driven. It typically takes 4-5 complete heat-up cycles for DOMINATOR Coolant Boost to circulate into the cooling system through the coolant reservoir.
The absence of temperature reduction may indicate an undersized radiator, restricted or insufficient flow, or excessive scale/deposits hindering heat transfer. In such cases, consider cleaning or replacing the radiator with a higher-capacity, performance-oriented one.
No, DOMINATOR Coolant Boost is not formulated for flushing cooling systems.
While there are no known compatibility issues between DOMINATOR Coolant Boost and stop-leak additives, AMSOIL doesn't recommend using stop-leak products with their coolant offerings.
In straight-water applications, add 2 fl. oz. of DOMINATOR Coolant Boost per quart of water. In antifreeze mixtures, add 1 fl. oz. per quart of antifreeze.
