FAQs

Do I need to mix this antifreeze with water?

Yes, Granville Zerocol 40 is a concentrate and must be mixed with demineralised or distilled water before use. A 50:50 ratio is standard for optimal performance.

Can I mix this coolant with other types of antifreeze?

It is not recommended to mix different types of antifreeze. While Zerocol 40 is Si-OAT based, mixing with other technologies (like conventional IAT or HOAT) can reduce its effectiveness and protective properties. Always use as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

What is the difference between Zerocol 40 and G13 coolant?

Granville Zerocol 40 is compatible with and can be used where G40 or GG40 (VW TL 774 J) specifications are recommended, which includes G13. Both are modern Si-OAT coolants offering excellent protection.

How often should I change my coolant?

Consult your vehicle manufacturer's service manual for the recommended coolant change interval. As a long-life coolant, Zerocol 40 typically offers extended service intervals compared to older coolant types.

What does 'Si-OAT' technology mean?

Si-OAT stands for Silicate Organic Acid Technology. This advanced formula combines the fast-acting protection of silicates with the long-lasting, environmentally friendly corrosion inhibition of Organic Acid Technology, offering superior performance and extended life.

Can I use tap water to mix the coolant?

No, always use demineralised or distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that can cause scale deposits and interfere with the coolant's performance and protective additives.

What is the freezing point of the 50% mixture?

A 50% mixture of Granville Zerocol 40 concentrate and distilled water provides freeze protection down to -36°C (-33°F).

Troubleshooting

Coolant level drops significantly

Check for leaks in hoses, radiator, water pump, or head gasket. A significant drop can indicate a serious cooling system fault.

Engine overheating

Ensure the coolant concentration is correct, the system is properly bled of air, and the thermostat and radiator fan are functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the radiator or hoses.

Corrosion or sludge in the system

Indicates the coolant may be old or the wrong type was used. A full system flush and refill with the correct Granville Zerocol 40 mixture is recommended.

Incorrect coolant mixture leading to freezing

Confirm the dilution ratio used. If compromised, drain, flush, and refill with a correctly mixed 50:50 solution of Zerocol 40 and distilled water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent long-term protection for modern engines.
  • Wide compatibility with numerous vehicle manufacturers and specifications.
  • Advanced formula prevents common cooling system issues like corrosion and scale.
  • Enhances engine performance by maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
  • Offers both freeze and boil-over protection for year-round reliability.

Cons

  • Requires dilution with distilled water before use; not a ready-to-use product.
  • Concentrated formula means incorrect mixing ratios can compromise performance.
  • Specific compatibility should always be double-checked against vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
  • While broadly compatible, some older vehicle systems may require different coolant types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mixing Instructions:

This product is a concentrate and must be diluted with demineralised or distilled water before use. The recommended dilution ratio is typically 50% antifreeze concentrate and 50% water for optimal all-year-round protection. Always consult your vehicle's manual for the specific recommended dilution and capacity.

Compatibility Check:

Before use, verify that Granville Zerocol 40 meets the specifications required by your vehicle manufacturer. Key standards include: AFNOR NF R15-601, ASTM D3306 & D6210, BS 6580:2010, Cummins CES 14603, Glycantin G40 & GG40, MAN 324 Type Si-OAT, MTU MTL 5048, SAE J1034, Scania TB 145, and VW TL 774 J (G13). It can be used where G40 or GG40 are recommended.

Cooling System Care:

  1. Drain and Flush: Completely drain the old coolant and flush the cooling system with clean water or a suitable flushing agent to remove any residues.
  2. Fill: Fill the system with the pre-mixed coolant solution.
  3. Bleed: Run the engine with the heater on and the bleed screws open (if applicable) to remove air pockets. Top up as necessary after the engine has cooled.
  4. Regular Checks: Periodically check the coolant level in the expansion tank when the engine is cold.

Storage:

Store in original, tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
