Prestone PAFR0045A Coolant/Antifreeze - Concentrate 4lt

Product Information

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? Ideally, the level should always be closer to (or directly on) the ‘maximum’ mark, so if it’s dropped towards ‘minimum’, we’d recommend topping it up. This heat is then dispelled in the radiator thanks to the volume of cold air coming in through the front grille and fan, and the liquid recirculated to absorb more heat. As the process is continuous, this ensures that the engine is always running at the correct temperature. How do I identify my car’s coolant/antifreeze reservoir?

Available in ready to use and concentrated formats, Prestone coolant is tested in temperatures from -37°C to 129°C, making it suitable for all cars and driving conditions. In this part I must mention a very important tip: don’t add antifreeze concentrate directly into the system (without diluting it). Coolant/antifreeze should protect from extreme temperatures while maintaining engine peak performance – Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze does both. And with its special patented formula, the product is safe to use in all makes and models, and with other coolant brands. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below. That means there’s no need to flush your car’s cooling system before adding Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze. Simply pour the product into your coolant reservoir – it’s that easy. Does coolant expire?Have a question about what coolant/antifreeze is, why your car needs it, and how to use Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze? Our FAQs give you all the information you need to guarantee maximum protection for your car’s engine and cooling system. What is coolant/antifreeze and how does it work? Prestone Ready to Use Coolant/Antifreeze is specifically developed to offer an easy and convenient way to top up your vehicle’s cooling system. The Ready to Use formula can be added to your coolant reservoir directly from the bottle, whilst the Concentrated alternative will need to be mixed with water prior to use.

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. It can also be mixed safely with any other colour of coolant/antifreeze – this means that if you’re not doing a full flush and fill and you’re just topping up, you can still use Prestone. Mixing other products can cause problems such as gelling and clogging, but Prestone mixes safely without causing damage so you can add it to your car without worrying.To be clear on this part and from personal experience, It won’t cause any immediate damage, but in the long run, it can. Sometimes you won’t have distilled water at hand (like on the road) and the obvious solution is to use tap water.

This is a popular shortcut because the mixing part is avoided. The idea is that the coolant system, through circulation, will mix it on its own. Once more, pay attention to the mixture ratio. In this example, it’s 1:1, so 1 liter of water is added to 1 liter of antifreeze. Prestone is guaranteed for all cars and can be mixed with any other colour of coolant/antifreeze, making it the best choice for you. You can use it to top up your car or to refill the cooling system after you’ve drained and flushed it. Locate the ‘min’ and ‘max’ markers on the side of the coolant expansion tank. Ideally the fluid level should be kept at the ‘max’ marker at all times.Coolant/antifreeze is a mixture of antifreeze agents and water that circulates through your car’s cooling system to regulate the temperature of the engine. It prevents the engine freezing in the winter while also providing year-round protection from overheating. Before you start, make sure that the engine has cooled down if the car has been driven. But the best time to do this is when the engine is stone cold.
