FAQs

How often should I change the antifreeze?

Comma Xstream Green Antifreeze provides protection for up to 3 years. However, regular checks are recommended.

Can I mix this antifreeze with other types?

It is generally not recommended to mix different types of antifreeze. It's best to flush the system before using Comma Xstream.

What is the correct dilution ratio?

Typically, a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water is recommended for optimal protection.

Where can I dispose of used antifreeze?

Used antifreeze should be disposed of at a local recycling center or hazardous waste facility. Never pour it down the drain.

How do I check the coolant level?

Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold. The level should be between the minimum and maximum marks.

What if my car is not listed on the approvals?

Check your car's manual for coolant specifications. If it requires a silicate-based, ethylene glycol coolant, Comma Xstream may be suitable.

Can I use tap water instead of distilled water?

It is recommended to use distilled water to avoid mineral buildup, which can affect the cooling system's performance.

Troubleshooting

Engine overheating.

Check coolant level, check for leaks, and inspect the radiator fan. Ensure proper dilution of the antifreeze.

Coolant leaks.

Inspect hoses, radiator, and water pump for leaks. Tighten connections or replace damaged parts.

Reduced heating in the cabin.

Check coolant level, and ensure the heater core is not blocked. Bleed the cooling system to remove air pockets.

Premature corrosion.

Flush the cooling system and refill with the correct antifreeze mixture. Check for any underlying issues within the engine.
