Shell DEX-COOL 50/50 Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant is a single-phase, ethylene glycol based, extended life, universal automotive engine coolant based on a unique extended life carboxylate inhibitor system. Shell DEX-COOL 50/50 is suitable for a five year or 150,000 mile service life in automotive applications. In heavy-duty applications not requiring nitrite Shell Dex-Cool is suitable for a service life of 400,000 miles or 8,000 hours. Shell DEX-COOL 50/50 is a 50/50 volume mixture of Shell DEX-COOL with deionized water.
Benefits:
- Meet GM6277M--General Motor’s new Extended Life Coolant specification (DEX-COOL® )
- Five year or 150,000 miles service interval
- Provides effective, long term corrosion protection for aluminum, brass, cast iron, steel, solder and copper
- Superior high temperature aluminum protection
- Improved water pump life
- Maintains good as new heat transfer due to no silicate containing formula
- Reduces silicate gel formation in use or in storage
- Storage stable for at least eight years
- 100% biodegradable in its pure unused form
- Compatible with conventional antifreeze. Further dilution of a 50/50 mixture with more than 10% conventional coolant or water will reduce cooling system protection
Areas of Consideration:
None Specified
Applications:
- Extended life universal automotive gasoline or diesel engine antifreeze / coolant
- Extended life universal heavy-duty diesel antifreeze/coolant for systems not requiring nitrite
- Extended life antifreeze/coolant meeting Japanese silicate free requirements
- Extended life antifreeze/coolant meeting European phosphate free requirements
