Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

UView 499108A A/C ExtenDye is an 8 oz super‑concentrated UV coolant dye formulated for Spotgun injection systems that improves compressor oil lubricity, adds anti‑wear protection, and services up to 64 vehicles.

Designed specifically to work with Spotgun injection tools, this ExtenDye combines a fluorescent leak tracer with friction‑reducing and anti‑wear additives to support automotive air conditioning systems. It is SAE‑J2297 certified and labeled hybrid‑safe, and each cartridge includes service stickers to help track applications and maintenance history.

How does this dye improve A/C system performance?

ExtenDye increases the lubricity of compressor oil, which helps moving parts operate more smoothly and can reduce internal friction and heat buildup. The added anti‑wear compounds protect bearings and seals, extending component life without altering refrigerant chemistry.

  • Boosts oil lubricity for smoother compressor operation
  • Reduces internal friction and operating temperatures
  • Includes anti‑wear additives for longer component life
  • Compatible with common refrigerants when injected properly

Will this cartridge work with my Spotgun injection system?

Yes — the 499108A cartridge is sized and formulated for use with Spotgun-style injection devices. The concentrate is meant to be metered into A/C systems via the Spotgun delivery method for accurate dosing and minimal waste.

  • 8 oz cartridge calibrated for Spotgun injection systems
  • Super‑concentrated formula covers up to 64 vehicles depending on dosage
  • Metered injection ensures consistent application each service
  • Service stickers included for tracking which vehicles received treatment

Is this safe for hybrid vehicles and standard service practices?

UView ExtenDye 499108A is certified SAE‑J2297 and is labeled hybrid‑safe, meaning it meets recognized safety and compatibility standards for automotive A/C systems, including hybrid platforms. Follow manufacturer dosing and service procedures to maintain system integrity and void no warranties.

  • SAE‑J2297 certified for standardized compatibility
  • Marked hybrid‑safe to align with electrified vehicle needs
  • Use recommended dosing to avoid over‑treatment
  • Includes stickers for maintenance records and warranties

How do technicians detect leaks and verify application?

The fluorescent dye is visible under UV inspection lamps, making it simple to locate leaks at seals, hoses, and fittings. After injection, a quick UV scan reveals fluorescent traces of the dye, which helps technicians confirm both the presence of leaks and that the dye circulated through the system.

  • Fluorescent tracer lights up under UV for fast leak detection
  • Helps pinpoint seals, hose ends, and compressor housing leaks
  • Verification of dye circulation confirms proper application
  • Reduces diagnostic time compared with non‑tracer methods

Who is this for: UView 499108A A/C ExtenDye is intended for professional technicians and well‑equipped DIYers who use Spotgun injection systems and need a high‑concentration UV tracer with anti‑wear benefits. It’s ideal for shops that perform frequent A/C diagnostics and repairs, fleets that require consistent service documentation, and anyone who wants to add lubricity and wear protection while maintaining easy visual leak detection. Always follow Spotgun instructions, vehicle manufacturer service guidelines, and local regulations when using refrigerant system additives.
