NAPA Coolant - Asian Blue

[ZeeOSix]

I know NAPA branded oil is Valvoline, so wondering if the NAPA branded coolant is also basically Zerex which is a Valvoline product. They sure seem similar.

Anyone know for sure?

Probably a good bet. I tried to find the MSDS for it and failed. Usually, those can have some good info.

The Napa gear oil SDS is literally the same SDS number as Valvoline gear oil just the spot for the product name says Napa instead of Valvoline

Yep, that, or like some AC Delco transmission fluid I was looking at the other day, listed right on it 'Manufactured by Phillips 66'. Sometimes they care enough to bury the source and sometimes not.

Nope. Napa branded coolants are supplied by Old World Industries which is the parent company of Peak Antifreeze. I used to work for Napa and the current warranty pdf statement still says supplied by OWI.

LOL, sure enough, right there on the front page.......

I did some searching recently (because of sale price) for the Napa Asian AF M/SDS and couldn't find one. It appears that if one downloads the warranty info on the product page, OWI shows up as the warranty provider. Either way, whether supplied by OWI/Peak or Zerex, I'd use it with confidence. Peak OET Asian AF and ZAV both true Asian P(h) OAT AFs. I do know that in past OWI has been supplier of other Napa AFs, eg. Napa DexCool.

Napa coolant is Peak, but there is nothing wrong with that because Peak OET Asian Blue is good stuff

The Napa Asian blue is probably rebranded Peak OET Asian Blue

Probably different corrosion inhibitors, sort of like they do with NAPA oil Valvoline doesn't put the same detergent package in it as they do for their own oil.. "supposedly."
