2-EH free coolants?

[asand1]

Without getting into an argument over Dex-cool, can anyone post
2-eh (2-ethylhexanoate or Ethylhexanoic acid)free coolants.

It's 2EHA, as it is normally denoted. Zerex Asian Vehicle Coolant, Peak Global, almost all of the Asian manufacturers don't use silicates or 2EHA.

I noticed your last question on the other thread was "Do the Asian OEMs not have 2eh?"

The answer is no they don't contain 2eha.

As for a listing, there's many.

The Asian P-HOATS don't. Toyota, Honda OEM are examples. Zerex AF is an aftermarket example. There are others.

G-05 doesn't.

Original Green doesn't, and the new low silicate type like Zerex being better than the original.

Volkswagen's coolants have been 2EHA free forever AFAIK... G11 (blue), G12 (pink), G12+ (lilac), G12++ (rosy purple) & G13 (nuclear pink).

The new Chrysler OAT coolant does not contain 2EHA:

This is the only one listed that I could buy reasonably priced. Is it definitely 2-EHA free and is it OK to use in passenger vehicles?

 

[boxcartommie22]

yes.this is the future of anti freeze all vehicles will go to this kind of coolant instead of having several different kinds...i been using this in all my vehicles..if you have any questions call them..it is an overkill tho but i love overkill for my expensive vehicles...i get mine at pep boys.

I like what I read about that Peak stuff. This product looks like it might pave the way to switch...

Interesting. Less than 1% 2-eha. I am a 2-eha hater (just because I associate it with dexcool) but wonder how much damage can less the 1% do
