FAQs

How do I determine the correct antifreeze concentration?

For general UK conditions, use a 40% solution (2 parts antifreeze to 3 parts water). For optimal protection down to -36°C, use a 60% solution (3 parts antifreeze to 2 parts water). Always refer to your vehicle's handbook.

How often should I check the antifreeze level?

It is recommended to check antifreeze levels regularly, ideally every few weeks or before long journeys.

Can I mix CarPlan Blue Star Antifreeze with other brands?

While it's generally best to stick to the same brand, CarPlan Blue Star Antifreeze is compatible with most other antifreeze brands. However, it's recommended to drain and flush the system before switching brands for optimal performance.

What should I do if I spill antifreeze?

If neat antifreeze is spilled on paintwork, rinse off immediately with water to prevent damage.

How long does CarPlan Blue Star Antifreeze last?

CarPlan Blue Star Antifreeze provides protection for up to 2 years.

Is CarPlan Blue Star Antifreeze safe for all engine types?
