Slime cleans up with water and has a -35°F. freezing point. A 1-gallon container retails for $26.69 and 5-gallon container for $98.78. Go to slime.com.

The coolant is available in a concentrate (for radiators that have been flushed and cleaned) as well as a 50/50 prediluted form to top off a cooling system. It can be added to any existing fluid to optimize the cooling performance. Go to prestone.com. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
