I'd like to thank all of the members who

voted me as President for 2012. Thanks to

all that served as board members in 2011. I

look forward to working with the newly

elected members this year. It's really en-

couraging to hear from some of you how much

you appreciate all that we do. I look for-

ward to 2012 being another great year. Last

year was full of challenges. We had to re-

place 2 board members. Thanks again to Scott

and Renee for stepping up. I'd like to wel-

come our newest board members, Sheryl and

Lydell.

Looking forward, we have plenty of things to

keep busy with. We will start planning for

our car show in June with a meeting on Janu-

ary 29th. Please try to attend and give

Dave your support. Thanks again to Dave

O'Meilia for organizing the car show this

year. Thanks to Ken and Tracee for being

the main sponsors for this year's show. We

still need volunteers for the Swap Meet in

March. These 2 events are the big money

makers for our club. Without this income,

we wouldn't be able to give out our scholar-

ships and donations.

Don't forget. It's not too late to attend

our Holiday Party on January 21rst. Ten

dollars of our membership dues pays for half

the cost of the meal, so it only costs $10

to attend. Men should bring a man's gift

and women a woman's gift. A minimum of $15

has been set for the gift exchange. The

Knoll's always does a great job for us.

Thanks to all the volunteers that make this

event happen.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year! Hope to see you on the road

soon!

Cary Petersen

COOLANT 101

TYPES OF COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE)

Today's coolant market is confusing. In days past all coolant

was the green ethylene glycol variety, one type of coolant for

every car. Now it seems that every car manufacturer has at

least one color of coolant. What Type of Antifreeze Should I

Use?.....All Makes and Models?...Extended Life 150,000

Miles?.....Green, Red, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Blue? There are a

lot of choices of different automotive coolants today. So, which

one should you use in your car? You should use what your car

was made to have. However, sometimes it may be difficult to

decipher what the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

used, especially if you purchased your car used.

Basically, there are three basic types of automotive

coolant: Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Tech-

nology (OAT), and Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).

IAT coolants are the "traditional green" variety used in

virtually all American vehicles from the late 1920s to the mid

to late 1990s. Like all antifreeze, it is naturally clear; its color

comes from dye. Unlike the other types of antifreeze, it uses

silicate and phosphate corrosion inhibitors to protect the metal

parts of the engine and cooling system. However, these inhibi-

tors wear out quickly, so IAT type coolants need to be flushed

every two years or 30,000 miles. OAT coolants typically do

not use silicate and phosphate corrosion inhibitors. Dif-

ferent manufacturers use different chemical additives to battle

rust and corrosion, and they all dye their coolants different

colors. GM's ubiquitous DEX-COOL coolant is an OAT anti-

freeze dyed orange. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Audi all use their

own formulas that happen to be dyed pink. Honda uses a dark

green (blue) dye. OAT coolants have longer service lives than

IAT coolants, needing to be flushed every 5 years or 150,000

miles. HOAT coolants use different additives than OAT,

but also use some silicate to protect aluminum surfaces. Mod-

ern Ford, Chrysler, and most European vehicles use their own

HOAT coolant formulas. Ford's is dyed yellow and Chrysler's is

orange (not to be confused with DEX-COOL). Both use the

marketing name of GO-5. HOAT coolant has the same service

interval as OAT (5 years or 150,000 miles).

Summary:

IAT - Used in early to mid-late 90's Domestic vehi-

cles…….This type is good for our antique cars

OAT - Used in late 90's GM and most Asian vehicles

HOAT - Used in 2000's Fords, Chryslers, and most

European vehicles.

Although you can mix coolant types without harm, it is

highly recommended against. If you mix an OAT or

HOAT with an IAT, you will lose the extended service

life of the OAT or HOAT coolant. Some people say that if

you mix these types of coolant it can result in the coolant

gelling, but if you keep your cooling system well main-

tained, this should not be a problem.

And finally, what about the "Universal, All Makes, All

Models" coolant you see stuffing store shelves? Basically,

those are OAT DEX-COOL clones. I would personally

steer well clear of them unless your vehicle is de-signed

for OAT coolant. You should always check your owners

manual, and make sure the coolant you add is the same

type of coolant your car requires.

Well here we are in to the New Year. Hope that

everyone had a safe holiday. I would like to thank

all of you that voted for my r re-election and the

one person that voted for Eric Teply. This is going

to be a great year especially that I am sitting here

watching the weather channel wishing that I would

have waited on taking my truck apart for the win-

ter, with the weather that we have been having. I

always feel that I need to one up myself every win-

ter, this time I go to World of Wheels I want to

have a different looking truck. I might be calling on

a few Rebels members for advice on a few of my

modifications.

We are still in need for volunteers for the swap

meets early shifts and the later shifts. If you would

like to help out please contact myself or Boyd, We

actually need 6 people per group per shift.

I am also trying to get a time set aside to tour the

Museum in Ashland. I would like to know if most

people prefer to go on a Saturday or Sunday please

let know what you think.

area are the World of Wheels in March!! & Hot Rod

HOLIDAY PARTY

JANUARY 21

AT THE KNOLLS

2201 OLD CHENEY ROAD

COCKTAILS 5-6, DINNER WILL FOLLOW

All reservations need to be turned in by the 5th of January.

Members $10, Non-members $20.00. Sign up at the club

meeting or through the club secretary or treasurer. If you would

like to participate in the gift exchange bring a wrapped $15.00

gift.

Gift exchange Everyone who wants to participate brings a wrapped $15 gift. All of the gifts are

placed in a pile, separated into men & women ’ s, and all participants are then given

randomly assigned numbers. Then the madness begins. The person who has the

lowest # chooses a gift from the pile, unwraps it, shows everyone, then the second

person has the option of either taking the first person ’ s already opened gift, or un-

wrapping a new gift of their own. If someone ’ s already unwrapped gift is taken from

them, they have the option of taking someone else ’ s already unwrapped gift, or re-

turning to the pile of unwrapped gifts. This proceeds until all the numbers have

been drawn, all the gifts are unwrapped, and all the stealing has been completed.

ANY GIFT CAN ONLY BE “ STOLEN ” 3 TIMES TOTAL, THE 4TH PERSON

OWNS IT. The game ends with participant #1 having their selection of any gift, ex-

cept for the “ OWNED ” ones.
