I think I bought the wrong Zerex product(s)


I was shopping in Pep Boys today and noticed they had Zerex products. I've always used water wetter in my systems, but decided to give this stuff a try since most say it doesn't smell as bad. One problem, I think I bought the wrong stuff.

I couldn't remeber the name of the Zerex product everyone was speaking of, so I bought 2 different ones that sounded like they would work okay in my water cooled rig. Seems like I guessed wrong twice.

Maybe these aren't the wrong things, but they aren't the ZEREX SUPER COOLANT everyone else is using. Do you guys think this stuff will be okay, or should I take it back and look for the super coolant?

Here are some links to the items I bought. Let me know what you guys think:

http://www.valvoline.com/pages/produ...asp?product=17

I guess THIS is what I should have bought.

I'm using the Zerex Super Lubricant and Corrosion Prevention.. the second link I think? Seems to be working fine in my mix with distilled water. About a 4-5% mix of the Zerex.

I have no long term results. Looks like antifreeze :P

The first one with the low pH I wouldn't use but the 2nd should be fine.

I am using the secong product you linked in a very weak mixture. I drove to three different autp parts stores, autoZone, NAPA, and a small local shop. None of them knew of anyplace that sold the super coolant. I gave up and grabbed a jug of the regular anti-freeze.
