Racers demand lower engine operating
temperatures in order to achieve maximum efficiency and
horsepower on the track, while the straight water coolant used
by many racers opens engines up to damaging radiator and water
pump corrosion. AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost (RDCB) provides
racers and motorists with significantly lower engine operating
temperatures, quicker engine warm-up times and advanced
corrosion protection.
Dominator Coolant Boost is formulated with
proprietary tiered surfactant technology, providing quick and
effective heat transfer inside radiators and cylinder heads,
which results in reduced operating temperatures, more efficient
operation, increased horsepower and significantly reduced
engine warm-up times in cold weather. Coolant Boost also
contains a robust mixture of corrosion inhibitors that protect
the radiator, heater core, water pump, cylinder heads, engine
block and intake manifold from the damaging effects of
corrosion.
Temperature Reduction Dynamometer
Test
To test the temperature reduction capabilities of Dominator
Coolant Boost, dyno tests were performed on a Chevy 350 cubic
inch engine with an aluminum block and cylinder heads. Running
the test with both straight water and water treated with
Coolant Boost, the engine was operated at 4,500 rpm until
coolant temperature stabilized.

Aluminum Corrosion Test
The Aluminum Corrosion Test (ASTM D-4340) measures the
corrosion protection properties of Dominator Coolant Boost in
modern automobile and high-performance race engines with
aluminum cylinder heads. A cast aluminum puck was heated to
275°F at 28 PSI and exposed to the test coolant mixture for one
week. Weight loss of less than 1.0 mg is required to pass the
test.

Test results show water treated with Coolant
Boost easily passed the Aluminum Corrosion Test.
Metal Corrosion Test
The Metal Corrosion Test (ASTM D-2570) measures corrosion
protection properties in automotive cooling systems. Using ASTM
corrosive water designed to simulate hard and corrosive water
in degraded coolant, six metal coupons constructed of the most
common metals in automotive cooling systems were exposed to the
test coolant mixture at 190°F. The coolant was maintained at a
temperature and flow rate equivalent to the operating
conditions seen in most passenger vehicles. Corrosive weight
loss suffered during the test determines the additive’s
corrosion protection properties.

Recommendations
Dominator Coolant Boost is recommended with both racing
applications using straight water coolant and automotive
applications using 50/50 coolant/water mixtures.
Directions: With engine off
and cool, make sure cooling system is filled with selected
coolant. Shake bottle and pour calculated amount of Coolant
Boost into radiator. Start engine, turn heat on high and run
for 15 minutes. Do NOT use distilled water unless mixed with
50% antifreeze.
Dosage: For straight water
applications, add 2 fl. oz. of Coolant Boost per quart of tap
or softened water. For 50/50 coolant/water applications, add 1
fl . oz. of Coolant Boost per quart of 50/50 mix.
Frequency: In applications
using Coolant Boost with straight water, drain and re-fill the
coolant system and add Coolant Boost once per year or when
indicated by color change. A distinctive pH color change
indicates when the pH has fallen to a point where corrosion can
set in. When the Coolant Boost/water mixture changes from pink
to clear, another dosage of Coolant Boost should be added.
Monitoring the pH level will ensure all vital areas of the
cooling system are protected against corrosion.
In applications using Coolant Boost with
50/50 coolant/water mixtures, add Coolant Boost once per year
or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. Follow coolant
manufacturer recommendations for coolant change intervals.
