febi is well known for its quality parts but it also supplies a wide range of automotive essential fluids, including  antifreeze matched to the vehicle manufacturers’ specific requirements.

Quality coolant is essential for optimum engine performance, prevents freezing at sub-zero temperatures and helps to prevent corrosion within the cooling system. This increases the service life of engine components and ensures that the moving parts within this system, such as the water pump, are lubricated.

Automotive coolants are a mixture of water and antifreeze concentrate. The recommended mix ratio is 1:1, which corresponds to a frost protection of -36 degrees. The maximum possible protection can reach down to -52 degrees, which is achieved by mixing at a ratio of 2:1. Pure antifreeze reduces the efficiency of cooling compared to a 1:1 mixture by about 50%. However, antifreeze concentrates also contribute to an increase in the boiling point, which in summer protects the engine against overheating. In a 1:1 mixture, the boiling point of the coolant is about 107 degrees.

Febi says it is advisable to regularly check the cooling system for the correct level and the correct mix ratio of cooling water and antifreeze. Using high quality liquids promote the longevity of moving parts such as water pumps, thermostats or heating valves. febi’s antifreeze (37400 ) is a state-of-the-art premium long-term antifreeze concentrate based on monoethylene glycol with cutting-edge OAT (Organic Additive Technology). febi bilstein radiator coolant is expertly matched to the specific requirements of the vehicle manufacturers whilst offering reliable protection against freezing, corrosion and cavitation damage.
