Silicate-free
Under 10 ppm silicon where the JIS limit allows 250. Silicate dropout is the abrasive that grinds water-pump seals.
Zerex Asian Vehicle Blue is a blue, silicate-free, phosphated HOAT antifreeze developed specifically for Asian vehicles. It is almost unobtainable in Georgia, and we import it directly from the United States.

2-EHA is a plasticiser that softens gaskets and plastics. It is common in cheap “universal” fluids.
Aluminium weight loss in the ASTM D1384 test is 0 mg where the limit allows 30. For boxer and all-aluminium engines this is the number that counts.
The service life declared by the manufacturer, calculated for a clean system and a correct mix.
