If your coolant/antifreeze needs topping up or replacing, it can be difficult to know which colour or type to use. Mixing coolants that aren’t compatible, or using the wrong one for your car, can cause clogging and damage.
Prestone is guaranteed for all cars and can be mixed with any other colour of coolant/antifreeze, making it the best choice for you. You can use it to top up your car or to refill the cooling system after you’ve drained and flushed it.
In addition, Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze is developed using engineered technology and has been tested in the most challenging conditions, including the Sahara, so we know that it performs from -37ᵒC to 129ᵒC.
It will protect your engine cooling system for 10 years or 300,000 miles, so you don’t need to worry about corrosion, frost or overheating.
We have unrivalled expertise in coolant/antifreeze, with a team of leading experts working to ensure that our products work for you every day on the road, no matter what car you drive.

How to Use:
This coolant is suitable for all makes and all models of vehicle. It also mixes with any existing coolant currently in the system.
Simply locate the coolant reservoir under the bonnet, check the level, and top up as necessary.
SDS InformationYes. Thanks to its unique and patented formula, Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze can be safely mixed with another product within the cooling system without causing damage or gelling. It’s also guaranteed to be compatible with all cars, vans, or light trucks.
That means there’s no need to flush your car’s cooling system before adding Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze. Simply pour the product into your coolant reservoir – it’s that easy.
You can in a pinch, but it’s much better to use distilled or de-ionised water. That’s because regular tap water contains minerals that can form hard deposits within the cooling system, increasing the risk of premature wear and tear of internal components, as well as reducing the lifespan of the coolant/antifreeze itself.
Yes, you can, so long as the coolant/antifreeze you’re using is based on ethylene glycol and is free from silicates. Some car coolants contain silicates and other compounds that can be harmful to motorcycle engines, so it’s super important that you read what a product contains before adding it to your bike.
If in doubt, always refer to your motorcycle’s manual, where you’ll find information on the correct type of coolant/antifreeze to use.
Generally, no. A sealed bottle of coolant/antifreeze has a 10 year shelf life, while an opened bottle can be stored safely for years and years without spoiling. As such, you’re unlikely to see an expiration date on any coolant and antifreeze-containing engine fluids.
With that said, it’s important to store coolant/antifreeze safely while adhering to the instructions on the product packaging. The fluid should remain in its original container and not be exposed to extreme variances in temperature. Ensure that the lid is securely fastened at all times, too, or it could present a hazard for children as well as animals.
Your car’s coolant/antifreeze reservoir should be easy to identify by its coloured lid, with many cars having a yellow coolant/antifreeze cap. You’ll probably find that there’s a warning symbol on the cap too, which highlights the danger of unscrewing the cap when the engine is running or hot.
The reservoir itself is usually made of thick, semi-translucent white plastic, and you should be able to see the coloured coolant/antifreeze (often pink, yellow, or green) through the side of the tank.
If you’re struggling to find your car’s coolant reservoir, the best thing to do is refer to the owner’s manual, which will have a diagram showing different parts and components under the bonnet. If you no longer have the manual, head online and visit the manufacturer’s website or forums dedicated to the make and model of your car — a fellow motorist should be able to point you in the direction of the coolant reservoir for your specific type of car.
You don’t technically ‘replace’ Prestone Cooling System Flush. It’s a single-use cleaner that helps remove contaminants and limescale from the cooling system when flushing the radiator.
Here’s how to use it:
- Drain the old coolant/antifreeze from the cooling system. If you’re not sure how, read our comprehensive guide on how to do a coolant flush.
- Replace the radiator drain valve and add Cooling System Flush to the coolant reservoir. Don’t replace the cap.
- Start the car and let the engine run for 5-10 minutes. This will circulate the product through the system, where it will lift contaminants and limescale.
- Switch off the engine and allow it to cool. Then, repeat the steps you took to drain the soiled cleaning solution from the system.
- From there, it’s a case of topping up your car with high-performance coolant/antifreeze.
Just like checking your oil or your tyre pressure, making sure your car’s coolant/antifreeze is protecting your car as it should be is an important part of maintenance. Without it, you run the risk of overheating since there’s nothing to absorb the heat produced when the car is in use.
Fortnightly check-ups are something we really recommend at Prestone, to see if the coolant/antifreeze needs topping up and also to test if it’s protecting your vehicle.
If you find that you need to top it up, here’s a helpful guide.
- Start by locating the coolant/antifreeze reservoir; this is usually visible on either side of the engine bay under the bonnet and is identifiable by the brightly coloured liquid inside. When adding Prestone, it is important to ensure the engine has cooled before unscrewing the cap of the expansion tank as the coolant operates at around 90°C. Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze should be added straight into the cooling system through the expansion tank.

- After filling with Prestone, make sure that the cap of the expansion tank is replaced and tightened.

- If you are using a Ready to Use Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze, it should be added straight into the cooling system through the expansion tank.
