What is the best Antifreeze on the market?

I don’t mean to be critical but sometimes I don’t understand people when it comes to doing what I consider to be routine vehicle maintenance. Take for instance my neighbor; after he finished changing his oil a few months ago he topped off the other fluids. This is smart except for one thing. Winter was just around the corner and he only added water to his radiator and his windshield washer fluid reservoir. That is a recipe for disaster if the weather gets cold enough. What should he have done? The answer to that is put approved windshield washer fluid in the reservoir for that and only use the best antifreeze possible in his cooling system.
I am using PRESTONE AF2000 EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE . You would be hard pressed to find any better antifreeze products in the industry than those made by Prestone. The company name is so strong when it comes to coolant for your vehicle that the name itself is almost synonymous with antifreeze. This is a great product that will do a nice job cooling your engine even under the most extreme conditions . One of the best things about this product is how well it protects your cooling system from corrosion. With its built-in “cor-guard” technology it actually puts a protective layer of coating over you somewhat sensitive cooling system metals to keep them from breaking down under use.

Engine Ice is what I use, is it the best? Don't know, but I do know it works and it won't poison my dog.

Procool or Evans racing coolant





I'll second Evans . Been using it for about 10 years now . Just bc the boiling temp is higher doesn't mean your bike is going to run hotter unless you're just abusing you bike causing it to over heat. I never lose a drop
of fluid. I actually busted a radiator in a gncc. Over half the coolant leaked out. Bike never missed a beat the last two hours of the race.

Pretty sure Evans is the same way.

Keep in mind that when switching coolants, it's a good idea to flush the system of the old coolant, especially if you're going from a coolant with silicates or that is Ethylene Glycol based to one that is silicate free or that is Propylene Glycol based (not that silicates are necessarily associated with one of the other). The silicates will attach to the internals of the system and you want to flush it all out before changing.

Edit: Engine Ice is both silicate free and propylene glycol based. I'm going to try it out soon.

Star Tron "Star cool" has a 265 degree boiling point for those 4 stroke guys. As well as a 15-16 psi rad cap.

Engine ice tastes the best by far but the color of the stock flavored anti -freeze looks the bestest
I wish there was more flavors though...

I don't mean to be critical but you drag up a thread that is two years old for your first post. WTF?

I didn't even read what he_(it) wrote. There sure have been a large number of people reviving old threads lately.
