Product Information

Yes, both Prestone Ready to Use and Concentrate coolant/antifreeze is OAT. We use the latest innovations and technology to make sure you get the best performance possible in your car. There are quite a few things you need to know about antifreeze. With so many important tidbits out there, we wanted to dedicate a section to inform you about everything you need to know about selecting your next antifreeze, topping things off, and even full-blown coolant flushes. If you drive a Ford and want an OEM replacement fluid, then what you want is Ford Motorcraft Gold. It’s the recommended replacement coolant for any Ford vehicle, and it’s very effective at cooling and protecting various components in these vehicles. A trip to Halfords this afternoon and I have 4 litres of G48 concentrate and 5 litres of deionised water. 968 handbook gives factory exit as a mix for temps -30oC as 45%/55%, so will aim for that, if that was the baseline to start with.

What’s even better with Mopar coolant is that while it has the same mileage limit as other types of antifreeze at 150,000 miles, it can last up to ten years! This makes it more likely that you’ll actually meet the mileage limits before you end up replacing it.It’s perfectly alright to top off the system – as long as you do it the right way. First, you need to use the exact same antifreeze that is already in your system. Mixing different antifreeze brands can lead to congealing, gelling, or other disastrous results. As for coolant/antifreeze, there are a couple of key differences as to why some products are one colour and others are another. Unfortunately, it’s no longer possible to determine a specific type of coolant from its colour alone, as the shade has little bearing on the chemical make-up of the product. As such, great care should be taken when topping up your car’s cooling system.

always refer to your car’s owner’s manual before topping up the cooling system. It’s important to use the right type of coolant for your engine to ensure optimal protection and longevity. Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze contains a premium formula that guarantees protection in extreme conditions from -37°C to +129°C. How do I use Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze?

Does coolant expire?

Antifreeze is the hidden hero of our car’s engines. If you don’t know how antifreeze works, it’s pretty simple. Antifreeze is added to the water in your engine’s cooling system that lowers its freezing point (and raises its boiling point too). It’s why the liquid in your radiator doesn’t freeze when everything else seems to be! You can choose a concentrated coolant that needs to be mixed with water or a ready-mixed one that can be used immediately. About our Antifreeze and Engine Coolant After filling with Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze, make sure that the cap of the expansion tank is replaced and tightened. Start by locating the coolant/antifreeze reservoir. This is usually visible on either side of the engine bay under the bonnet and is identifiable by the brightly coloured liquid inside. Well, you could it take to a mechanic who will be able to work out which type of coolant is currently in the engine. But by far the simplest and easiest thing to do is to use Prestone High-Performance Coolant/Antifreeze.

If you are using a Ready to Use Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze, it should be added straight into the cooling system through the expansion tank. Newer more advanced and premium coolant/antifreeze like Prestone are based solely on the OAT chemical make-up. Products like these offer advanced corrosion and heat protection, not to mention an incredible longevity of up to 300,000 miles.We’ve already covered Ford and GM, so it only makes sense that we include an option for Dodge too. But while Mopar is the OEM replacement option for Dodges, it’s also the OEM option for Fiat, Ram, and Chrysler. If you drive any of those vehicles and want an OEM antifreeze, Mopar is the way to go. The final option you have is actually the ideal choice. That’s 60 percent antifreeze and 40 percent water. This mixture gives you the lowest possible freezing point and the highest possible boiling point, making it an ideal choice for the highest-end cars and the most extreme environments. That’s because you mix concentrate options with distilled water, which doubles the amount of coolant you have without adding hardly anything to the overall cost. Your car’s coolant/antifreeze reservoir should be easy to identify by its coloured lid, with many cars having a yellow coolant/antifreeze cap. You’ll probably find that there’s a warning symbol on the cap too, which highlights the danger of unscrewing the cap when the engine is running or hot. You can. Prestone coolant/antifreeze has been specially developed and rigorously tested by our lab in the US to ensure that it can be used in all vehicles. Many manufacturers will advise on a particular colour as there are differences between other products, but Prestone is compatible with all cars and light duty vehicles.
