Cooler Than You

Royal Purple has announced its reformulated cooling system optimizer and conditioner, Purple Ice. Reducing engine coolant temperatures by as much as 25°F and protecting against harmful buildup and corrosion, Purple Ice helps lower engine coolant temperatures by reducing the surface tension of the coolant for better interface between the engine’s coolant and hot metal components, which prevents overheating as well as the formation of damaging engine hot spots.
