FAQs

How often should I change the coolant?

Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for recommended coolant change intervals. This can vary based on the vehicle make and model.

What happens if I mix different coolants?

Mixing different coolant types is generally not recommended as it can reduce the coolant's effectiveness and potentially cause damage. Always use the correct coolant specified for your vehicle.

Can I use tap water to top off the coolant?

It's best to use distilled water or a pre-mixed coolant solution to top off the coolant. Tap water can contain minerals that can cause corrosion.

What is the shelf life of the Febi Bilstein Coolant?

Unopened, the coolant typically has a shelf life of several years if stored correctly. Check the product packaging for specific expiration information.

Is this coolant suitable for all vehicles?

No. While it's compatible with many vehicles, always check your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure it meets the required specifications.

What should I do with the used coolant?

Used coolant should be disposed of properly according to local regulations. Do not pour it down the drain or into the environment.

What color coolant should I use?

The color of the coolant is not the most important factor. Always refer to your vehicle's manual for the recommended coolant specification. The Febi Bilstein coolant is available in different colors.

Troubleshooting

Engine overheating.

Check the coolant level. If low, top it off. Also, inspect for leaks in the cooling system. If the issue persists, consult a mechanic.

Coolant leaks.

Inspect the radiator, hoses, and connections for leaks. Tighten connections or replace damaged components.

Coolant color change or contamination.

This may indicate a problem with the cooling system. Flush the system and replace the coolant. Consult a mechanic if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: Verify that the coolant is compatible with your vehicle's make and model. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct coolant specification.
  2. Draining the Old Coolant: Allow the engine to cool down completely. Locate the drain plug on the radiator and place a suitable container underneath.
  3. Flushing (If Necessary): If your system is contaminated or if recommended by your vehicle's service manual, flush the cooling system with a suitable flushing agent before adding the new coolant.
  4. Adding the New Coolant: Pour the Febi Bilstein Coolant into the radiator until it reaches the indicated fill line. If your vehicle has a coolant reservoir, fill it to the appropriate level as well.
  5. Bleeding the System: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the coolant to circulate and remove any air pockets. Top off the coolant if necessary.
  6. Regular Checks: Check the coolant level and condition regularly (e.g., every month). Monitor for leaks and any signs of corrosion.

Care: Store the coolant in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Properly dispose of used coolant according to local regulations.
