A corrosion inhibitor for use in aqueous and liquid alcohol compositions is described comprising the combination of: (a) an alkylbenzoic acid or the alkali metal, ammonium, or amine salt thereof, said acid having the general formula ##STR1## where R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl radical; (b) a C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 aliphatic monobasic acid or the alkali metal, ammonium, or amine salt thereof; and (c) a hydrocarbyl triazole. Aqueous compositions containing the above-described corrosion inhibitor as well as antifreeze/coolant concentrate and aqueous antifreeze/coolant compositions containing said corrosion inhibitor are also described. The corrosion-inhibitor of the instant invention gives synergistic corrosion protection to metal surfaces as compared with compositions containing either the alkylbenzoic or aliphatic monobasic acid component alone. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention claimed is: 1. A corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition which inhibits general, pitting, crevice, and deposit-attack corrosion in the cooling system of a water-cooled internal combustion engine consisting essentially of: (a) from 90-99 weight percent of a water soluble liquid alcohol freezing point depressant; (b) from 0. 1-5. 0 weight percent of an alkylbenzoic acid or the alkali metal, ammonium, or amine salt thereof, said acid having the general formula ##STR4## where R is a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 5 alkyl radical; (c) from 0. 1-5. 0 weight percent of a C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 aliphatic monobasic acid or the alkali metal, ammonium, or amine salt thereof; (d) from 0. 1-0. 5 weight percent of a hydrocarbyl triazole; and (e) from 0-5. 0 weight percent of a C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 aliphatic dibasic acid or the alkali metal, ammonium, or amine salt thereof. 2. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 1, where said liquid alcohol freezing point depressant is ethylene glycol. 3. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 1, where said alkylbenzoic acid is 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid. 4. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 1, where said C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 aliphatic monobasic acid is selected from the group consisting of octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, decanoic acid, undecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, and neodecanoic acid. 5. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 4, where said C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 aliphatic monobasic acid is octanoic acid. 6. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 4, where said C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 aliphatic monobasic acid is 2-ethylhexanoic acid. 7. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 1, where said hydrocarbyl triazole is tolyltriazole or benzotriazole, present in a concentration of 0. 1-0. 3 weight percent. 8. The corrosion-inhibited antifreeze concentrate composition of claim 1, where said C
