Antifreeze & Engine Coolants

Antifreeze maintains engine temperature control and protects cooling systems against freezing and corrosion. This category includes conventional and long-life formulations suited to a range of vehicles and engine types.

Choosing the correct coolant

Check your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications before selecting a coolant. Different chemistries—such as ethylene- or propylene-glycol bases and various additive packages—offer differing lifespans and compatibility. Use compatible mixtures and maintain recommended concentrations for effective protection.

Application and maintenance tips

• Mix ratios: follow guidance for freeze protection and boiling point enhancement.
• Compatibility: avoid mixing incompatible coolant types to prevent sludge or corrosion.
• Service intervals: some long-life coolants extend change intervals, while others require more frequent replacement.
• Safety: handle antifreeze carefully—keep away from pets and rinse spills promptly.
• Deals and clearance: shopping seasonal reductions can help with routine maintenance budgets.

Regular coolant checks and system flushes ensure reliable engine operation. Dispose of drained fluids responsibly at authorised collection points to protect the environment.
