So looks like Polaris coolant is double price of standard stuff you get for cars, is there any real benefit to using that vs the standard stuff?

I’m sorry I take it back green is green went to O’Reillys yesterday to get zerex antifreeze for my new radiator on 2015 900xc all they carry is this Asian stuff, i’m confused, nobody has the original Zerex green in town. Going to use Polaris Green antifreeze $31 a gallon.

Hell- I even run the 50/50 mix from Auto Zone-When I install heaters in RZR's I go back with it cause see zero difference in coolant temps over 10 years of using it
Have ran the Engine Ice in snowmobiles and it does keep temps down a bit but not worth the price.
Whatever you decide, Just make sure it good for Aluminum application.

I got to spend a decent amount of time with the President of Engine Ice at PRI this past December and he did explain that the -7F point is when it starts to gel. That said, what they advertise for SxS usages, for those that will see cold temps, is rated to -26F. They offered us a sponsorship on our race car that day, so I have a bunch of free Engine Ice coolant in several colors. I am going to try the blue in my turbo S2000 track car and the red in my SxS'.

all I can find is design and made by Polaris.

It's bad enough having to stock ten different kinds of oil for everything I own. I use the universal, "safe for all vehicles," antifreeze mixed 50/50 with distilled water. I've been doing that for years. No issues.

Dex Cool 50/50 extended Life coolant (orange) works just fine. I have been using it for 18K miles in my Rzr and I use it in all the Rotax engines I work on (hundreds of them over the years). Too many people get hung up on it must be this or that or only Polaris product only. What many don't know is some products may have different names from companies, but are made by only a single company and re-branded.
