The current coverage includes popular domestic trucks such as the Ford F-Series, GM C/K trucks, as well as European cars such as Volkswagen Golf/Jetta and Audi.

Higher fuel prices and governmental fuel economy regulations are driving vehicle manufacturers to increasingly look to turbocharged vehicles for improved fuel economy. Turbocharged vehicles require proper cooling from an intercooler, therefore this new automotive category will complement customers’ existing cooling offering and help grow their business, Spectra says.

As with all Spectra Premium parts, these intercoolers are engineered, developed and validated by the company’s team of Canadian engineers, ensuring they meet OE requirements, as well as North American market conditions. Spectra Premium intercoolers are designed to minimize pressure drop and maximize heat dissipation in order to achieve maximum engine operating efficiency.

The complete listing of these Intercoolers can be found in the Spectra Premium eCatalog at http://ecat.spectrapremium.com. In addition, a complete application catalog and sales flyer can be downloaded at http://mktg-us.spectrapremium.com.

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.
