With the continuous addition of new product designs and growing late-model coverage, Magnum now lists more than 100,000 make/year/engine applications in its electronic catalog for foreign and domestic passenger cars and light-duty trucks. In addition to Magnum’s own Web-based catalog (magnumgaskets.com), the U.S.-based manufacturer says it also supplies ACES- and PIES-compliant data to the aftermarket’s most popular e-cataloging services.

“Reaching 100,000 applications demonstrates our aggressive growth strategy and our commitment to serving our customers,” said Magnum Vice President Derek Data. “This milestone includes only Magnum’s coverage for traditional import and domestic light-duty vehicles. We are also rapidly expanding our high performance and medium-/heavy-duty diesel product offering.”

Understanding Coolants

All-season coolant used inorganic acid technology and worked great for almost 30 years.

In the 1960s, coolant was changed twice a year. In the fall, antifreeze with ethylene glycol-based coolant was put into the engine to prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the block when a cold front hit. Often, if the engine got hot, the antifreeze would boil off. In the spring, the engine would be drained and filled with water and maybe a small can of an anti-corrosion treatment.
