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
Nationals on May. If you would like to register for
the WoW let me know so that I can get you a regis-
tration form.

HOLIDAY PARTY
JANUARY 21
AT THE KNOLLS

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.
