Product Information

Full details

CarPlan Blue Star Ready Mixed Antifreeze & Coolant is an ideal maintenance solution for vehicle owners who prioritize convenience and engine longevity, offering reliable protection against both freezing winter temperatures and summer overheating. Designed for cars, vans, and trucks with petrol or diesel engines, this formula uses mono-ethylene glycol and corrosion inhibitors to protect cooling system metals, hoses, and seals; however, users should note that the pre-mixed formula is intended for top-ups or full refills rather than dilution with additional water.

FAQs

Can I mix this with other colors of coolant?

It is generally not recommended to mix different types of coolant. It is best to flush the system if you are switching brands or types.

Does this product expire?

While the chemicals are stable, it is best to use the product within 2-3 years if the bottle has been opened to ensure the inhibitor package is fully effective.

Is this suitable for classic cars?

Yes, the BS 6580 formula is ideal for many classic vehicles that require traditional ethylene glycol-based coolants.

What should I do if I spill it on my paintwork?

Wipe the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth and rinse with water, as antifreeze can damage vehicle paint if left to sit.

Is it safe for aluminum radiators?

Yes, the corrosion inhibitors are specifically designed to protect aluminum and other common cooling system metals.

Troubleshooting

Coolant level drops frequently

Check for leaks in radiator hoses, the radiator itself, or the water pump. If no leaks are found, consult a mechanic for a potential head gasket issue.

Engine temperature gauge remains high

Ensure the cooling system is free of air locks after filling, or check if the thermostat is stuck in the closed position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ready-to-use formula eliminates dilution errors
  • Protects cooling system components from corrosion
  • Compatible with both diesel and petrol engines
  • Includes bittering agent for enhanced safety
  • Maintains seal and hose integrity

Cons

  • Not suitable for cooling systems requiring specific OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolants
  • Pre-mixed ratio cannot be adjusted for extreme arctic climates
  • Requires proper disposal according to local regulations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this product, ensure the vehicle engine is completely cool before opening the radiator cap or reservoir, as the system may be under pressure. Pour the liquid directly into the coolant reservoir until it reaches the manufacturer-specified 'MAX' line. Do not add water to this pre-mixed formula, as doing so will dilute the inhibitor package and reduce the freezing point protection. Check your owner's manual to ensure your vehicle does not explicitly require a specific long-life OAT coolant, as this product follows the BS 6580 standard. Store the bottle in a secure, upright position in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. When disposing of old coolant, never pour it into the drain or soil; take it to your local council waste recycling facility.
