Can this dye be used in coolant/antifreeze also?

No As far as I know it is only for oil in gasoline engines. I have tried it in diesel oil and it doesn't work. Further research shows that there is a product for diesel engines, transmission oil, and coolant

This product is only meant to work with oil. I would not recommend using this in your cooling system.

I found a small amount shows up quickly and it is better if you can clean engine areas first, as it then helps pinpoint leak, also a lot of driving just causes it to smear out more. But they have other products better suited for coolant.

Yes it can. It glows under UV light (best spotted in lower light conditions)

I don't think the dye will work on fuel leaks, and could screw up the fuel injectors. If you can't see or smell the leak anywhere, one or more of the injectors could be leaking into the engine.

It seems to be just dyed water so freeze at 32 but I don't think it would break it.

I am not sure if it is supposed to be used that way, but yes I have added it in tiny amounts to washing fluid that is anti freeze.

I dont really know, but if you decided to use it, flush the cooling system completely before using the red coolant. I don think its good to mix green and red coolant.

Yes, it can be used for labeling items that will be frozen. Do not apply to a frozen surface - apply, then freeze.

Purple Ice is compatible with all current OEM/factory and major brand automotive anti-freeze. This includes traditional green ethylene glycols, as well as OAT/HOAT antifreezes (e.g. DexCool; Ford and Chrysler orange, gold, pink; European and Japanese OEM red, pink, etc.).

Yes thats what its for to be used with coolant, but if you dont have a present leak then do not use it, you can keep one for emergency coolant leaks.

I don't recall the "claims" made by DEI, other than "lowering your radiator temperature by up to 20 degrees". I doubt it has a rust inhibitor, in it. It is marketed as a cooling additive. All Quality Antifreeze, has additives in them to inhibit rust, & lubricate the water pump seal. If your running plain water, or very low mixture of antifreeze, then you might need an additive package. Rodney

I don't see any reason it couldn't be. But I will tell you, this product did not work for me. Just like the Wetter Water, & other Cool products, their all based on the same sound principal. But I've tried them All, & not one, has made any difference, in the temperature of my radiator. They All were a waste of my money! I do not recommend any cooling additives! Rodney

You should mix the full strength coolant with distilled water (50% water volume with 50% coolant volume).

Yes. It is the concentration of ethylene (or propylene) glycol in water, not the concentration of chemical additives, that determines the freeze point of an antifreeze mixture. HOAT, OAT and other modern automotive coolants are still primarily ethylene glycol blends regardless of their additive packages. Hope this helps.

Dont know what those are. I'd be cautious of using it for anything too delicate as it does freeze or cause condesation on objects.

Yes, it is recommended to use with water only actually. It is good for all engines and can be mixed with coolant or regular H2O.

Yes ...use Denatured alcohol as that is what it is designed for and is the best fuel. Get it in any paint department or HEET which is gas line antifreeze in the yellow bottle at all auto stores. Isopropyl should only be used in an emergency. D

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

It's always better when you start off with fresh coolant .The directions say that it works better with less than 50% antifreeze .If you coolant in your system is fresh now you may add it to your radiator right away .Just make sure that the system is cool before you remove the radiator cap for safety , {don't want to get burned} .Good luck .
