Engine Ice Develops the Ultimate High-Performance Snowmobile Coolant

Whatever concoction your snowmobile is running as a coolant, it performs two essential functions: keeping your engine cool while it runs, and keeping ice from forming in your engine’s coolant passages while it sits dormant. In that way, your antifreeze/coolant mixture is subject to both temperature extremes, and it has to be both efficient at pulling heat away from your engine when it’s being run hard, and able to withstand frigid sub-zero temperatures without freezing when it’s sitting parked. What’s more, it has to do all this while meeting certain viscosity and flow-rate requirements. You don’t have to be a chemist to see how this all might be a challenge.

And you don’t have to be an ace mechanic to see why you shouldn’t trust your sled to just any old antifreeze/coolant product.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Snowmobile and Winter Coolant is “the only powersports coolant with [its] own technical and R&D team,” according to the manufacturer, and it is anything but “just any old” snowmobile coolant. It is the latest from Engine Ice, one of the most trusted performance coolant producers in the world, and it delivers the same exceptional cooling power and boil-over protection to sledders that scores of hardcore motorcycle and ATV fanatics have come to expect. And it doesn’t just work on high-performance snowmobiles. Whether you’ve got a touring sled, a utility sled, or even a kid-sized snowmobile, this coolant can help.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Snowmobile and Winter Coolant protects against freezing all the way down to -45°F (-43°C) and offers boil-over protection up to 260°F (127°C), covering the full range of temperatures your sled is ever likely to encounter – and then some. But just as important, it offers exceptional corrosion protection, and its unique proprietary formula has been developed to deliver better heat transfer than competing products. As we all know, a cooler engine is a more powerful engine; cool, dense intake air means plenty of oxygen, and the more oxygen in your combustion chamber, the more fuel can be burned to produce power. Where you’re likely to see the biggest gains is in modern, high-strung performance snowmobile engines, which tend to put out a bit more waste heat than the under-stressed motors of yesteryear, but Engine Ice is an excellent coolant for any snowmobile.

In addition, Engine Ice Hi-Performance Snowmobile and Winter Coolant is propylene-glycol-based, rather than being based on traditional ethylene-glycol chemistry, making it non-toxic and much more environmentally safe. It is free of phosphates, and is even biodegradable.

If you are like most snowmobile enthusiasts, you probably spend a lot more time thinking about the oil you are running than what coolant you just topped-off with. And while changing up your snowmobile coolant isn’t likely to totally transform your life, it’s still an under-appreciated part of the equation; switching up your coolant could mean more freeze and boil-over protection, superior protection against corrosion, and more efficient heat dissipation for stronger engine performance. That is why Engine Ice is the number one choice among riders in-the-know, and trusted by motocross pros like Jeremy McGrath and Jeff Stanton, not to mention racing driver Sammy Smith.

To check out Engine Ice’s new high-performance coolant mix for snowmobiles and winter powersports for yourself, be sure to stop by EngineIce.com. Sold in packs of four half-gallon jugs, this coolant is pre-mixed and ready to rock. It is one of the easier changes you and your snowmobile will ever make.

Plastic Shine

While the Hi-Performance Snowmobile and Winter Coolant will help your snowmobile run better, Engine Ice also makes a product to help your machine look better – Plastic Shine.

Plastic Shine is designed to bring new life to your snowmobile’s plastics. This fast-drying product is a silicone-based fine mist aerosol you can use to restore a glossy shine to your sled’s bodywork. Simply spray it on and buff to bring back the factory shine. It won’t attract dust or leave fingerprints behind. You can even use it on metal to slow corrosion.

Plastic Shine is available in 2, 4, or 12-can packs.
