If in doubt, always refer to your motorcycle’s manual, where you’ll find information on the correct type of coolant/antifreeze to use. What happens if you overfill the coolant reservoir?

You can. Prestone coolant/antifreeze has been specially developed and rigorously tested by our lab in the US to ensure that it can be used in all vehicles. Many manufacturers will advise on a particular colour as there are differences between other products, but Prestone is compatible with all cars and light duty vehicles. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below. Prestone Ready to Use Coolant/Antifreeze is specifically developed to offer an easy and convenient way to top up your vehicle’s cooling system. The Ready to Use formula can be added to your coolant reservoir directly from the bottle, whilst the Concentrated alternative will need to be mixed with water prior to use. In this article, you can see how to mix antifreeze concentrate but also find answers to the most common questions regarding this topic. The variant of ethylene glycol more commonly used in coolant/antifreeze is monoethylene glycol, or MEG. Odourless and colourless, it offers excellent antifreeze properties but should always be kept away from children and animals due to its sweet taste and toxicity.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.

Both Ready to Use and Concentrated versions of the Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze are supplied in an easy-to-pour-bottle, making it simple to top up the coolant yourself. Can I add Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze to other coolants? The other option for replacing or adding coolant is to buy coolant directly, not antifreeze. A good option if you don’t have the means to make the mixture. Different colors may mean different formulas which may not react well to each other. It can cause a sludge-like substance to form inside the coolant system, resulting in clogs and consequently overheating.

Know that this can easily lead to damaging the water pump or seals in the system. Remember that the proper thing to do is to first mix the antifreeze and then add it to the system. The shelf-life of Prestone coolant/antifreeze is 5 years unopened. If you open it and leave it, there are external factors that can impact the shelf-life so we can’t advise on that once it’s opened. Especially do this if you’re going to flush the whole coolant system. First, mix the complete batch and then pour.

But the best way to be sure you won’t cause any problems is to either buy the same coolant you have in your car already or one from a different manufacturer but with the exact same specifications. This way the whole batch will be even, which is important especially if you’re replacing all of the coolant.To be clear on this part and from personal experience, It won’t cause any immediate damage, but in the long run, it can.
