February 2018 | Overdrive | 37 Mobil Delvac Extended Life Coolants Mobil Delvac's Extended Life Coolant/ Antifreeze and Extended Life 50/50 Prediluted Coolant/Antifreeze both are phosphate-free, silicate-free, nitrite-free and borate-free ethylene glycol-based coolants designed to provide wet sleeve liner cavitation and corrosion protection of all cooling sys- tem metals. They are formulated with organic corrosion inhibitors to provide total cooling system protection for 1 million miles of on-road use (eight years or 20,000 hours of off-highway use). The coolants eliminate the cost of supple- mental coolant additives and can accept up to 25 percent mixing with conventional coolant technologies. They are fully compatible with other quality organic acid technology and nitrited organic acid technology heavy-duty extended life coolants. Both have a nonabrasive formula that can improve water pump seal life and provide long-term elasto- mer compatibility.

The blend has cor- rosion inhibitors to help enhance and main- tain the coolant's effectiveness and service life and extend radiator life. The formulation also helps protect all metals wetted by coolant such as steel, cast iron, copper and aluminum, as well as seals and elastomers in cooling system hoses. Pencool 4000 also contains additives formulated to protect against wet sleeve liner pitting and cavitation erosion.
