Havoline
Extended Life Antifreeze Coolant-PG
Description
Havoline Extended Life AntiFreeze Coolant-PG
(Havoline XLC-PG)
- mixed with the appropriate amount of water - is used as a cooling and heat transferring fluid in combustion engines. The heat of the internal combustion is transferred via the fluid to the radiator where the mixture is cooled by means of air flow.
Havoline XLC-PG
is a propylene glycol based fluid that provides maintenance-free protection against
freezing and boiling but also against corrosion. Extended coolant life, often for the whole life of the engine or vehicle, is obtained through the use of virtually non-depleting corrosion inhibitors.

Based on patented silicate-free aliphatic acid technology,
Havoline XLC-PG
provides long-life corrosion protection for all engine metals, including aluminium and ferrous alloys. During extensive fleet testing, the synergistic combination of mono- and di-carboxylic acids present in this coolant, has proven to provide protection for at least
650,000 km (ca. 8,000 hours) in truck & bus-application or 250,000 km (ca. 2,000 hours) for passenger cars or
32,000 hours (or 6 years) for stationary engines. It is recommended to change the coolant every five years or at above mileages or operating times, whichever comes first.
Havoline XLC-PG
provides long-life protection against all forms of corrosion by the use of optimized and patented organic corrosion inhibitors. Excellent and lasting high temperature corrosion protection is provided for the
aluminium heat transfer surfaces contained in modern engines. The inhibitor package of
Havoline XLC-PG
offers excellent cavitation protection even without using nitrite or nitrite-based supplemental coolant additives (SCA’s).
Application Havoline XLC-PG provides long-life frost and corrosion protection. To ensure good corrosion protection it is recommended to use at least 33 vol. % of
Havoline XLC-PG
in the coolant solution. This provides frost protection to -15°C. Typical mixtures in Northern Europe are 50/50, offering frost protection down to
-33°C. Havoline XLC-PG
may be used with confidence in engines manufactured from cast iron, aluminium or combinations of the two metals, and in cooling systems made of aluminium or copper alloys.
Havoline XLC-PG
is particularly recommended for hi-tech engines, where high temperature aluminum protection is important. For racing cars we recommend the usage of
Havoline Extended Life Corrosion
Inhibitor, an aqueous solution of the same carboxylic acid
inhibitors. 
Compatibility
and Mixability
Havoline XLC-PG
is compatible with most other coolants based on propylene or ethylene glycol. Exclusive use of
Havoline XLC-PG
is, however, recommended for optimum corrosion protection and sludge control. Also, the use of soft water is preferred for dilution. Though, lab testing has shown that acceptable corrosion results are still obtained with water of 20°dH, containing up to 500 ppm chlorides and 500 ppm sulfates.
