Product Information

Full details

The Bardahl Racing Coolant (5 Litre) is designed for high-performance vehicles and racing applications where precise engine temperature control is critical. Its key benefit is enhanced heat transfer, leading to significantly reduced operating temperatures, up to 15°C, for more consistent power delivery. A key consideration is its ready-to-use, non-glycol formulation, which adheres to specific racing regulations but means it should not be mixed with traditional glycol-based coolants. This product offers superior cooling efficiency, corrosion protection, and anti-cavitation properties.

FAQs

Can I mix Bardahl Racing Coolant with my current coolant?

No, this is a non-glycol, ready-to-use formula. Mixing it with conventional or extended-life glycol-based coolants is not recommended and can compromise performance and may violate racing regulations.

Do I need to add distilled water to this coolant?

No, Bardahl Racing Coolant is pre-mixed and ready to use straight from the container. Adding water will dilute its effectiveness and purity.

What is the main advantage of a distilled water base?

A distilled water base maximizes heat transfer efficiency, allowing the coolant to dissipate heat from the engine more effectively than glycol-based coolants, resulting in lower operating temperatures.

Is this coolant safe for all engine types?

Yes, it is safe for all metal components in the cooling system (aluminum, magnesium, copper, bronze) and for gaskets, seals, hoses, and plastic parts. It is specifically designed for high-performance and racing applications.

Does this coolant provide freeze protection?

This formulation is primarily focused on high-temperature performance and heat transfer. It does not typically provide freeze protection. If your operating environment can reach freezing temperatures, you may need a different product.

How often should I replace Bardahl Racing Coolant?

Consult your vehicle's service manual or racing team recommendations. For high-performance and racing use, it is often recommended to flush and replace coolant more frequently than in standard vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Engine temperature still too high.

Ensure the cooling system was completely flushed before filling and that no air pockets remain. Check radiator for blockages, fan operation, and thermostat function. Verify the correct coolant capacity was used.

Coolant leaks detected.

Inspect all hoses, clamps, radiator, water pump, and seals for damage or loose connections. The compatibility of Bardahl Racing Coolant with all system components has been verified, so leaks are likely due to existing system issues.

Coolant appears discolored or contaminated.

This may indicate incomplete flushing of the old coolant or internal system issues. A full system flush and refill with fresh Bardahl Racing Coolant is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces engine operating temperatures (up to 15°C).
  • Complies with racing regulations prohibiting glycol-based coolants.
  • Offers robust protection against corrosion and cavitation.
  • Extends the life of cooling system components.
  • Compatible with a wide range of seals, gaskets, and hoses.

Cons

  • Ready-to-use formula cannot be diluted.
  • Not suitable for standard passenger vehicles not subject to racing regulations.
  • Requires a complete flush of the old coolant system before use.
  • May not provide freeze protection in colder climates (check specific product details if freeze protection is needed).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Bardahl Racing Coolant is a ready-to-use product and should not be diluted with water or any other fluid. Before filling, it is crucial to completely flush the existing cooling system to remove any residual coolant, debris, or contaminants. Ensure the system is drained thoroughly. Fill the cooling system with Bardahl Racing Coolant according to your vehicle's capacity.

Compatibility: This coolant is specifically formulated for high-performance and racing applications. It is safe for use with aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, steel, cast iron, gaskets, seals, hoses, and plastic components commonly found in performance cooling systems. Important: Do not mix with conventional or extended-life glycol-based coolants, as this can compromise its performance and regulatory compliance.

Care: Regularly check the coolant level in the reservoir when the engine is cool. Inspect hoses and connections for any signs of leaks or wear. While the coolant provides corrosion protection, periodic system inspections are recommended. Since this is a non-glycol formula, it may not offer freeze protection. If operating in temperatures below freezing, ensure your vehicle is equipped with appropriate winter protection or consider a different coolant solution if such protection is required.
