Apec Standard Blue – 5 Litre (A9055L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A9055L

Safety: Warning. Harmful if swallowed. May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Read the label before use.

Apec Standard Blue is a ready-mixed antifreeze and coolant in a 5 litre bottle, so it goes into the cooling system exactly as it comes, with no water to measure out. It gives 2-year protection all year round and is made to BS 6580: 2010, ASTM D 3306, ASTM D 4985 and SAE J 1034, a simple choice for topping up or refilling.

Good to know

• Do I mix it with water? No, Apec makes it at working strength, so pour it in neat. Adding plain water to ready-mixed coolant lowers its frost protection.
• Is it right for my car? Read the handbook first: if it names a long-life or maker-approved coolant, choose one that lists that specification. Go by the coolant specification in the car's handbook, not the colour, as makers dye their coolants differently.
• How do I top it up safely? Only open the cooling system with the engine cold, as a hot system is under pressure and the coolant can scald. Top up to between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank.

Which one?

If the handbook asks for a long-life coolant, look at Apec Ultra Longlife Lilac 40 (A9125L) or Ultra Longlife Green 05 (A9105L), both concentrates to mix with water. NAPA Standard Blue (N9055L) is another ready-mixed blue, with a freeze point of -36.7°C.
