Description
xTSI Supercool RD8 Radiator Dye is a synthetic UV-detectable leak tracer designed to help you identify cooling system leaks without invasive disassembly. Packaged in an 8-ounce self-measure bottle, it lets you apply precisely 1 ounce per vehicle, making routine maintenance simpler and more predictable.
What makes RD8 effective
The dye blends with your vehicle’s coolant and travels along with it, turning transparent pathways into visible indicators under UV light. When you shine a UV light on the engine bay, potential leak points—such as hoses, radiators, and connections—may show up as glowing traces, helping you target inspections with confidence rather than guesswork.
Designed for water-cooled engines, this dye is formulated to be detectable with any UV light, so you can use standard shop lamps or portable UV devices to review results. The result is a practical aid for diagnostics that supports planning repairs or monitoring system integrity over time.
