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 show the product has a freeze point of -6.9°F. Label also claims methanol as a component. Methanol is not an approved component in any engine coolant by any active industry standards. The use of methanol in Antifreeze/Coolant may present a safety hazard if used in an internal combustion engine. The product does not contain bitterant.
