Dr Cool Anti-Boil/Anti-Freeze Engine Coolant (DRC) is a full strength glycol concentrate (1004 grams of glycol per litre). It is a low silicate proprietary blend designed to meet the performance requirements of passenger cars, 4WD's and light commercial diesel vehicles.

Dr Cool Concentrated Coolant is a full strength concentrate (1004 grams of glycol per litre). It is a low silicate proprietary blend designed to meet the performance requirements of passenger cars, 4WDs and light commercial diesel vehicles. It is fully aluminium compatible and is suitable for use in lean burn engines where higher than normal temperatures are achieved in the cylinder head and block.

When used at 33% to 50% by volume in soft or demineralised water Dr Cool protects cooling system components for 2 years or 60,000km, whichever comes first. Dr Cool protects against all forms of corrosion and in addition provides anti-freeze and anti-boil protection.

Dr Cool is safe to use in all Commodores and Ford Falcons including V series and AU.
Note: Never mix coolants, even from the same manufacturer (unless a product label gives specific directions to do so).

Benefits:

  • 2 years or 60,000 kilometres service life (whichever comes first)
  • Guaranteed to suit every vehicle
  • Provides optimum protection against corrosion of all cooling system metals
  • Harmless to hoses and rubber fittings
  • Expands operating temperature range of cooling systems (see details below)
  • Reduces nucleate or hot spot boiling
  • Not aggressive to water pump seals as is the case with coolants containing high levels of silicate
  • Reduces inventory for fleet operators
