Premixed coolant VS Concentrated coolant, which option is better?

 

Coolant is what keeps the engine temperature stable and ensures it operates at maximum efficiency. It also prevents rust and corrosion in car radiators, extending their service life. 

Currently, there are two types of coolant for cars: premixed coolant and concentrated coolant. Many car lovers may wonder how they are different and which type is better. 

Today, PTT Lubricants will help you determine which is better between premixed coolant and concentrated coolant so that you can choose the right one. Let's explore the differences! 

 

Premixed Coolant 

It is a coolant that can be used right away as it is already premixed with clean water in the right ratio to be ready for use in the car. 

 

Concentrated Coolant 

It is a concentrated coolant that requires mixing with clean water in the appropriate ratio as specified by the manual before use. This ensures that the coolant provides the necessary cooling ability for the vehicle. 

 

Which coolant should you choose? 

The selection of coolant often depends on the driving style and the driver's regular maintenance of the car. 

 

• Premixed Coolant 

Premixed coolant is suitable for both new and experienced drivers as it is easy to use without having to waste time mixing the solution again. This type of coolant is also good to be carried in the car in case of emergencies as well. 

 

• Concentrated coolant 

Concentrated coolant is suitable for those who maintain their cars themselves, are capable of changing the coolant themselves, or already use concentrated coolant, as it requires mixing with water before use. When mixing the coolant for use, it is important to only use clean water, such as drinking water or deionized water , due to its high purity. Since one can of concentrated coolant can be used multiple times, it is more cost-effective than premixed coolant. 

 

To conclude, both types of coolant have different uses and should be selected depending on the convenience and lifestyle of the drivers. If you are a person who wants something easy, it is recommended to use premixed coolant. If you are someone who takes care of your car regularly and wants something cost-efficient, you can use the concentrated coolant.
