FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 Extended Life Antifreeze + Coolant
Red, Prediluted OAT Coolant for Heavy-Duty Diesel, Gasoline and Natural Gas Engines
FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 is a ready-to-use, ethylene glycol-based extended life antifreeze and coolant formulated for heavy-duty diesel, gasoline and natural gas engine cooling systems.
Its Organic Acid Technology, or OAT, uses non-2-EH organic acid corrosion inhibitors to protect cooling-system metals while eliminating the need for routine Supplemental Coolant Additives, or SCAs, and chemically charged coolant filters.
The 50/50 prediluted formula provides freeze protection to approximately -34°F (-37°C) and boil-over protection to approximately 265°F (129°C) when used in a properly pressurized 15 PSI cooling system.
No additional water is required.

50/50 Prediluted and Ready to Use
FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 is already mixed to the proper 50/50 concentration.
Do not add water when filling or topping off with this product. Further dilution changes the glycol concentration and reduces freeze, boil-over and corrosion protection.
At a 50% coolant concentration, the current technical specification lists:
- Freeze protection: -34°F (-37°C)
- Boil-over protection with a 15 PSI pressure cap: 265°F (129°C)
- Unpressurized boiling point: 225°F (107°C)
The boiling point varies with cooling-system pressure and altitude.
Extended Life Cooling System Protection
With proper maintenance, FINAL CHARGE Global is covered for up to:
- 1,000,000 miles of on-road service
- 8 years
- 20,000 hours of off-road service
These service-life terms are conditional.
To maintain the manufacturer's extended protection, the cooling system must be properly maintained and filled or topped off with FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 or the appropriate FINAL CHARGE concentrate and water mixture. The warranty also specifies that other product supplements should not be added.
Always follow the engine or equipment manufacturer's specified cooling-system maintenance requirements.
OAT Corrosion Protection
FINAL CHARGE Global uses Organic Acid Technology rather than conventional inorganic inhibitor packages.
The formulation is:
- Nitrite-free
- Phosphate-free
- Silicate-free
- Borate-free
Its organic corrosion inhibitors provide protection for cooling-system metals while avoiding the regular SCA replenishment required by many traditional heavy-duty coolants.
The coolant is designed to help protect against:
- Corrosion
- Wet-sleeve liner cavitation
- Scale
- Inhibitor dropout
- Gel formation
- Cooling-system deposits
No Routine Supplemental Coolant Additives Required
FINAL CHARGE Global does not require routine Supplemental Coolant Additives.
Chemically charged coolant filters that release SCAs are also unnecessary. If the equipment manufacturer requires a coolant filter, use an appropriate blank filter rather than an SCA-charged filter.
This reduces the need to monitor and replenish nitrite or other conventional inhibitor levels during normal service.
Heavy-Duty and Mixed-Fleet Applications
FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 is designed for cooling systems in:
- Heavy-duty diesel trucks
- On-highway fleets
- Construction equipment
- Agricultural machinery
- Off-highway equipment
- Diesel pickup trucks
- Gasoline-powered fleet vehicles
- Natural gas engines
- EGR-equipped engines
- SCR-equipped engines
- Mixed fleet operations
Its broad application range can help fleets consolidate coolant inventory when the applicable OEM specification is satisfied.
Mixing With Other Coolants
FINAL CHARGE Global can tolerate mixing with other coolants, but that does not mean unrestricted mixing is preferred.
Old World Industries recommends keeping contamination from other coolant technologies below 25% to maintain the intended corrosion-protection performance.
For the manufacturer's extended-service guarantee, the cooling system should be properly filled and subsequently topped off with FINAL CHARGE Global products according to the warranty requirements.
When converting from another coolant, follow the appropriate FINAL CHARGE conversion procedure and the equipment manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.
Coolant Color and Compatibility
FINAL CHARGE Global 50/50 is red.
Coolant color alone should not be used to determine compatibility. Different coolant technologies can use similar colors, and red coolant from another manufacturer may have different chemistry or specifications.
Always select coolant according to the engine or equipment specification rather than color alone.
