XADO Antifreeze GREEN 11 is a green engine coolant in concentrated form, for petrol, diesel and LPG engines. One 1.1 kg can, mixed with water, makes 2.5 kg of ready-to-use coolant. It contains Revitalizant, which protects the bearings of the water pump.

Most drivers know that engine oil wears out. Far fewer know that coolant does too. The liquid in your radiator contains additives that stop the metal inside the engine from corroding, and they are slowly used up. After a few years the coolant may still look fine, but it has stopped protecting. Rust and scale begin to form, the radiator starts to clog, the water pump wears, and one hot afternoon the temperature needle begins to climb.

A coolant change is the cure, and it is one of the cheapest services a car can have.

GREEN 11 is the classic green coolant, trusted in a very wide range of cars and trucks. It is made from premium-grade glycol with highly effective corrosion inhibitors, and it guards against cavitation too, the tiny bubbles that pit the metal around a water pump. It is safe for all types of radiator, whether aluminium, copper or brass.

Mixed correctly and left to do its work, it keeps the cooling system in good order for 3.5 years or 175,000 km.

Why drivers choose it

It gives maximum engine protection against corrosion and cavitation. It keeps the cooling system working faultlessly for 3.5 years or 175,000 km. It is compatible with all types of radiator. It suits petrol, diesel and LPG engines in cars and trucks. And it protects the water pump bearings with Revitalizant.

Made for vehicles like yours

Cars and trucks whose makers specify a traditional green coolant. It surpasses the coolant requirements of Volkswagen (G11), Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Opel, MAN and Volvo, and it is recommended against the Japanese JASO standard for engine coolants.

That makes it a good fit for older Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Mazda models that left the factory with green coolant, for European cars of the 1990s and 2000s, and for pickups, vans and trucks.

Many newer cars use a red or pink long-life coolant instead, and it is best not to switch types without advice. Tell our specialists your make, model and year, and they will confirm whether GREEN 11 or our RED 12++ is the right one.

Genuine XADO, straight from the source

Every can we sell comes directly from XADO, made in Holland, and arrives sealed. Our Nairobi service centre can also flush and refill the cooling system for you.

When did you last change your coolant? If you cannot remember, it is time.

How to use

This is a concentrate and must be mixed with water before use. Mix the 1.1 kg can with clean distilled or deionised water to make 2.5 kg of ready-to-use coolant, following the mixing table on the can. Avoid tap or borehole water, which leaves scale.

Check your owner’s handbook for how much coolant your system holds. Most cars take 5 to 8 litres, so a full change needs two to three cans.

Only open the cooling system when the engine is cold, as hot coolant is under pressure and can scald. Drain the old coolant, flush the system with clean water, then fill with the mixed coolant. Run the engine with the heater on until it reaches working temperature, let it cool, and top up to the mark.

Coolant is poisonous and tastes sweet. Keep it away from children and animals, and clean up any spills.
