Some of the difficulty with antifreeze is knowing which one to use, but with Prestone’s Coolant/Antifreeze, that worry is completely removed. Prestone’s Coolant/Antifreeze Coolant can be mixed with coolant of any colour that is already in the reservoir.
Prestone’s Coolant/Antifreeze Concentrate has also been tested to perform in the most extreme conditions imaginable, including the extreme heat and dryness of the Sahara, giving you the peace of mind that it’ll perform between -37ᵒC and 129ᵒC.
The concentrated formula allows for mix only what you need, leaving a smaller bottle to be stored safely. With this antifreeze, you must first dilute the concentrate with deionised water before you can top up the reservoir.

How to Use:
This coolant is suitable for all makes and all models of vehicle. It also mixes with any existing coolant currently in the system.
Whether topping up or filling up, dilute with de-ionised water according to table below.
| Freeze point protection | -18°C | -25 °C | -37 °C | -64 °C |
| Parts Prestone: parts water | 1:2 | 1:1.5 | 1:1 | 2:1 |
To fill the entire coolant system we recommend you flush the system before adding Prestone.
- Make sure the engine is cool. Completely drain the cooling system following the instructions in the vehicle handbook.
- Add Prestone to the level recommended in vehicle handbook.
- Run the engine up to operating temperature, then switch off and allow to cool.
- Check coolant level and add more as required.
Note: When not in use, ensure product is kept in a secure, upright position.
SDS InformationYes. Thanks to its unique and patented formula, Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze can be safely mixed with another product within the cooling system without causing damage or gelling. It’s also guaranteed to be compatible with all cars, vans, or light trucks.
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.
You can in a pinch, but it’s much better to use distilled or de-ionised water. That’s because regular tap water contains minerals that can form hard deposits within the cooling system, increasing the risk of premature wear and tear of internal components, as well as reducing the lifespan of the coolant/antifreeze itself.
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.
If in doubt, always refer to your motorcycle’s manual, where you’ll find information on the correct type of coolant/antifreeze to use.
Generally, no. A sealed bottle of coolant/antifreeze has a 10 year shelf life, while an opened bottle can be stored safely for years and years without spoiling. As such, you’re unlikely to see an expiration date on any coolant and antifreeze-containing engine fluids.
With that said, it’s important to store coolant/antifreeze safely while adhering to the instructions on the product packaging. The fluid should remain in its original container and not be exposed to extreme variances in temperature. Ensure that the lid is securely fastened at all times, too, or it could present a hazard for children as well as animals.
Your car’s coolant/antifreeze reservoir should be easy to identify by its coloured lid, with many cars having a yellow coolant/antifreeze cap. You’ll probably find that there’s a warning symbol on the cap too, which highlights the danger of unscrewing the cap when the engine is running or hot.
The reservoir itself is usually made of thick, semi-translucent white plastic, and you should be able to see the coloured coolant/antifreeze (often pink, yellow, or green) through the side of the tank.
If you’re struggling to find your car’s coolant reservoir, the best thing to do is refer to the owner’s manual, which will have a diagram showing different parts and components under the bonnet. If you no longer have the manual, head online and visit the manufacturer’s website or forums dedicated to the make and model of your car — a fellow motorist should be able to point you in the direction of the coolant reservoir for your specific type of car.
Just like checking your oil or your tyre pressure, making sure your car’s coolant/antifreeze is protecting your car as it should be is an important part of maintenance. Without it, you run the risk of overheating since there’s nothing to absorb the heat produced when the car is in use.
Fortnightly check-ups are something we really recommend at Prestone, to see if the coolant/antifreeze needs topping up and also to test if it’s protecting your vehicle.
If you find that you need to top it up, here’s a helpful guide.
- 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. When adding Prestone, it is important to ensure the engine has cooled before unscrewing the cap of the expansion tank as the coolant operates at around 90°C. Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze should be added straight into the cooling system through the expansion tank.

- Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze should be added straight into the cooling system through the expansion tank.
- After filling with Prestone, make sure that the cap of the expansion tank is replaced and tightened.
