20 AROUND THE ENGINE

Using OEM-prescribed coolant is just as important as engine oil and a universal coolant does not exist (anymore). More than 8 different types of coolant liquids are already stipulated as a mandatory requirement by car manufacturers. Severe engine damage is often the result of a malfunctioning cooling system due to the use of the wrong coolant. Modern cars with combustion engines are equipped with high-tech, complex cooling systems. Thing to remember when it comes to selling coolant • Only use the coolants specified by the manufacturer • Check the MPM website to find out which coolant fluid is prescribed for which vehicle • There is no universal coolant: encourage garages to be wary of so-called Universal/multi-vehicle coolants • Garages should never mix different types of coolant (there are some exceptions. Always ask MPM for advice in such cases) • Always recommend the replacement of coolant after a leak in the head gasket has been repaired GOOD TO KNOW The importance of using OEM-prescribed coolant Product group: 423

• The colour of the coolant is only an indication of the type of product: it says nothing about quality. For example, some G12+ products are yellow or amber coloured. These can best be topped up with the clear G12+ coolant (86000CBL) to prevent colour deviations. • Asian car brands often prescribe coolants containing hybrid phosphates (86000CLP). Products containing silicate should never be used in that case • G13 coolant contains glycerol. This means they’ll need a special refractometer to read out the frost protection correctly.
