One size does not fit all
Over 83% of motorists are unaware of the role that coolant plays in their vehicles and over 65% said they wouldn’t know what product is suitable for their car, according to new research conducted by Cosan Lubricants for its Comma brand.
It’s a common misconception that a single product will do or worse still, that you simply replace coolant with one of the same colour – the wrong product will result in overheating, corrosion and component failure leading to possible invalidation of the warranty. Car manufacturers have tailored coolants and oils in recent years for specific, individual engine needs and as operating conditions in modern engines become more severe it is vital that the correct coolant is used. Comma’s range of OEM-approved Xstream coolants are backed by a Compatibility Guarantee and a full application guide is available on its website.
