I agree.  I don't know that I've EVER had to replace a radiator hose on any
of about 15 vehicles in the course of about 15 years.  I think maybe once I
had to...

I'm waiting for the long life car-wash soap...

Of course, what's the point of such long-life coolant if it outlasts the
radiator hoses?
  


Usually radiator hoses are good for more than 5 years, I think.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the Mobil 1 Delvac Extended Life 
Windshield Washer Fluid.

OK, but how much does a gallon of the stuff cost?  Even if it's $30/gallon,
if I only have to change my antifreeze once every 5 years it becomes worth
it.

Of course, what's the point of such long-life coolant if it outlasts the
radiator hoses?

[MBZ] Delvac antifreeze

2006-03-07 Thread Harry Watkins
This may be the next good thing.

ExxonMobil today announced an addition to its Mobil(R) Delvac(R) family of 
premium lubricants and greases -- Mobil Delvac Extended Life 
Coolant/Antifreeze. The new product is designed to provide exceptional 
corrosion protection for all cooling system metals, including aluminum, brass, 
cast iron, steel, solder and copper, and helps extend coolant drain intervals 
for any diesel-, gasoline- or natural gas-powered engine. 
Formulated with patented organic corrosion inhibitors and stabilizers, as well 
as contamination tolerant additives (CTAs), Mobil Delvac Extended Life 
Coolant/Antifreeze is compatible with all coolant technologies, and can help 
reduce the formation of harmful acids that impede cooling system protection, an 
especially vital performance benefit for engines that feature Exhaust Gas 
Recirculation (EGR) technology. Mobil Delvac Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze 
can provide up to 600,000 miles of on-highway use, or six years, or 12,000 
hours of off-highway use

Mobil Delvac Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze meets or exceeds all major OEM 
and industry coolant specifications, including: 

-- CAT EC-1; 

-- Cummins 14603; 

-- Detroit Diesel 7SE298; 

-- MTU 5048; and, 

-- Mercedes DBL 7700.

and other ExxonMobil products and services call 1-800-MOBIL25 or visit
