Petroleum Quality Institute of America

Antifreeze/Coolant Test Program

The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) is an independent resource for information and insights on the quality of lubricants in the marketplace. Our mission is to serve the consumer of lubricants by randomly sampling and independently testing lubricants taken from the field. Test results are posted along with the brand names on the PQIA website. This webpage provides an analysis on the brand detailed below.

The following are the test results for the sample examined.

Test Results and Assessment:

The freeze point of the product tested is -15°F. This is higher than the product's labeled claim of -34°F and is higher than the industry standard of -33.5°F. The test results are not consistent with a new coolant based on the standard specifications stated in ASTM D-3306 and ASTM D-4985. The level of degradation acids (glycolate and formate) in the sample tested are unusually high. In addition, the concentration of chloride is 228% higher than the maximum level of 25mg/L as stated in ASTM D-3306 and ASTM D-4985 for a new coolant, and the concentration of sulfate is also significantly higher than seen in a new coolant. High concentrations of chloride and sulfate can result in scale and/or corrosion and are indicative of poor water quality and/or poorly reclaimed coolant.

NOTE: Super XXX Antifreeze & Coolant has been ordered off the shelves in Missouri by the Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection Division in the State of Missouri. See: http://agriculture.mo.gov/weights/fuel/consumeralert.php

Note: Although laboratory tests alone cannot be used to establish if coolant meets standards, they can be used to determine if it doesn't.
