Prestone LOYAF2100LGBA Coolant/Antifreeze - Ready to Use 1lt

Product Information

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. The variant of ethylene glycol more commonly used in coolant/antifreeze is monoethylene glycol, or MEG. Odourless and colourless, it offers excellent antifreeze properties but should always be kept away from children and animals due to its sweet taste and toxicity.

If 60/40 is better than 50/50, then even more antifreeze must be better right? While we understand the thinking, the truth is that it’s completely wrong. Older coolants that used Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) were usually blue or green in colour. With these types of coolants, you’d normally have to change them every two years, or every 60,000 miles. Introducing Prestone high-performance Coolant/Antifreeze, the only product you need to guarantee maximum protection for your car’s engine. The formula itself does a great job of keeping your engine cool, and it has plenty of protective properties. It’s a slightly more expensive option, but it is a ready-to-use formula which means all you need to do is pour it in! The fact that drivers can no longer distinguish different types of coolant by colour is a problem. For instance if you buy a used car, it’s incredibly difficult to tell what type of coolant is in the system unless you drain and flush the system, and whether or not it’s safe to top up the reservoir with a fluid of the same colour.Because of this, the United States government mandated that all antifreeze manufacturers add an extreme bitterant to the fluid. This gives it a telltale taste that no one likes and reduces the chances of someone slipping it into someone else’s drink without them noticing! Final Thoughts

Not only is it a more affordably priced option for these vehicles, but it also comes in a concentrate which means it lasts far longer and you can customize the mixture to exactly what you need! Furthermore, while it does a great job cooling your vehicle, it also lubricates various gaskets and seals, protecting your engine in the process. If you do opt for the concentrate over the ready-to-use antifreeze, then you’ll need to mix it yourself. While this isn’t a huge deal, it’s important that you do it the right way to prevent future problems from affecting your vehicle. We’ve set out all the key do’s and don’ts you should remember when using and mixing different coolant products, so you can avoid problems and make sure your car is always 100% protected.When you’re shopping for coolant, you have the option of a concentrate or a ready-to-use antifreeze. There’s really no wrong choice, but there are pretty important differences that you need to be aware of. 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.

For: Toyota, Honda, Acura, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Daewoo, Lexus, Kia, Nissan, Infiniti, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Scion, Mazda, Hyundai, and IsuzuPrestone 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. 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. The best thing to do when you aren’t sure what kind of coolant/antifreeze is in your car is to use a universal coolant that’s safe to mix with other fluids. Some premium coolant/antifreeze, like Prestone, can be safely mixed with other types of coolant, so you get peace of mind that the products will work safely without causing any problems within the cooling system.” What Do Coolant/Antifreeze Colours Mean? In addition, Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze is developed using engineered technology and has been tested in the most challenging conditions, including the Sahara, so we know that it performs from -37ᵒC to 129ᵒC.

Yes, you can, so long as the coolant/antifreeze you’re using is based on ethylene glycol and is free from silicates. Some car coolants contain silicates and other compounds that can be harmful to motorcycle engines, so it’s super important that you read what a product contains before adding it to your bike. 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.It typically lasts 5 years or 150,000 miles, but in some Ford vehicles, it will actually last even longer. Like most OEM products, it’s a smidge more expensive upfront but compared to ready-to-use options it’s still a lower overall cost. 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. 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. 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
