AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost
Provides Effective Heat Transfer and Enhanced Corrosion Protection

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.

Test results show water treated with Coolant Boost provided a 19°F temperature reduction.
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.
| COOLANT MIXTURE | WEIGHT LOSS |
| Straight Water | 3.97 mg/cm2/wk |
| Water with Coolant Boost | 0.14 mg/cm2/wk |
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.
| METAL | STRAIGHT WATER WEIGHT LOSS |
WATER WITH
COOLANT BOOST WEIGHT LOSS |
| Copper | 66mg | 7mg |
| Solder | 120mg | 0mg |
| Brass | 59mg | 3mg |
| Steel | 54mg | 0mg |
| Cast Iron | 117mg | 0mg |
| Cast Aluminum | 89mg | 0mg |
Test results show water treated with Coolant Boost significantly reduced weight loss due to corrosion.
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.
