What’s the Best Engine Coolant?

A vehicle’s engine generates enough heat to destroy itself, and it is up to the cooling system and coolant to keep the engine within a safe operating temperature range. Preventive maintenance, including fluid maintenance, is essential to extending radiator and engine life and keeping them in top working order, but what’s the best engine coolant for the job?


AMSOIL Antifreeze/Coolants provide outstanding protection for cooling systems, delivering maximum protection in extreme temperatures and protecting cooling systems against damaging corrosion and cavitation.


In third-party, industry-standard testing, cast-iron and copper plates protected by AMSOIL show virtually no signs of corrosion.¹




In third-party, industry-standard testing, cylinder liners protected by AMSOIL show virtually no signs of cavitation.²
