Valvoline G05???
Valvoline G05???
Well my 2nd time at the track was not as fun as the first.
My upper radiator hose was off the clamp and got sliced by my thermo fan on my first run!!
long story short I was forced to put in what ever water I could find to get the car to a service garage, now its back home and I'm going to need to flush the radiator I read in the book Valvoline G05 is recommend but is a pre mix okay to use? I noticed our stock coolant is blue this stuff is green any help would be awsome

hey bmorgan, i took out my cold air intake (doing some modification) so stock cold air intake, 20" wheels, stock pressure and no burnout I managed to get a 13.1 that was my first and only run of the night!

i have seen were it was said the g-05 can be used in the 3.2 s/c engine. color isnt the issue. the additives and the anticorrosion protection is what you need to look for. for the price it seems about the same as the oem coolant. a key detail is to fully flush the old water out and use a mix with only distilled water. i dont know what the z-05 is mixed with the minerals have been eliminated in distilled water. aluminum heads aluminum block dont use reg tap water

Re: Valvoline G05???
Sorry to hear of your frustrating go at the ‘strip.
Ashland’s G-05 HOAT formulation is the former DaimlerChrysler’s currently specified anti-freeze.
It’s subtlety repackaged for their dealerships.
Respectfully suggest one purchase the full-strength blend, and only then mix as required with readily available and inexpensive distilled water to achieve a ~50/50 concentration. No sense paying an exorbitant premium for the “convenience” of a petroleum concern diluting it by half beforehand.
Know you’re well into the warm season, but its anti-corrosion properties best not be discounted.

Thanks 32krazy, I just found a very simple explanation by Valvoline for anyone else interested

They use distiled water in there pre mixes so I'm going to buy pre mix! am I correct in saying the SRT-6 takes 13.5 quarts?

NAPA carries Zerex G05 about $13 a gal
Also, this might sound strange but that upper hose bracket is a joke. Snaps quite easily and the hose is not held very well.
I found the Mag-Light mounting clamp fits perectly. Has a hole that lines right up to the mount for the origianl clamp and it is at least 10x more solid and actually looks pretty good.
