Manila’s gridlocked streets this summer subject vehicles to tremendous heat, especially the engine. Summer is that time when scores of motorists are stuck on the shoulder (or worse, right in the middle of the road) with steam coming out of the hood. The culprit? An overheated engine.
Know your cooling system
Today’s modern vehicles, with all their high-performance attributes, tend to run more efficiently while at the same time, put more strain on the cooling system — as more heat is generated by such things as air conditioners, higher thermostat settings, larger engines, and exhaust emissions controls.
Today’s cars demand more than just water and more from the radiator and cooling system in general. More heat means higher boiling point requirements — water’s 100
°C is not enough even with that effective radiator cap which is supposed to raise boiling point because of the pressure.
Prestone helps keep things cool
Prestone, a leading brand in automotive car care products offers Prestone LongLife Coolant Concentrate.
An ethylene glycol-based coolant, Prestone LongLife Coolant Concentrate when used at an ideal mixture of 50 percent coolant and 50 percent distilled water can prevent overheating by providing a higher boiling point — as high as 129
°C.
At the same time, it helps maintain a safe high-operating temperature and maintains this over a wide range of conditions — best for today’s high-performance vehicles which require such temperatures to operate efficiently while keeping things cool during gridlocked traffic in sweltering heat.
As for those other problems such as rust and corrosion, Prestone LongLife Coolant Concentrate has special inhibitors that stop rust and corrosion from building up and eventually clogging cooling passages.
So before you embark on that summer outing or find youself stuck in Metro traffic melting away in the afternoon sun, get to know that cooling system. Check for leaks and other problems. And fill up with Prestone Longlife Coolant Concentrate to keep your engine cool amid the heat.
