Glysantin G48 Coolant

Glysantin G48 coolant is a HOAT-based radiator antifreeze. It is particularly suitable for the effective protection of cooling circuits in passenger car internal combustion engines with water cooling against high and low temperatures. As an Si-OAT coolant, Glysantin G48 is one of the so-called hybrid coolants, which are also abbreviated as HOAT coolants.

This name is derived from the fact that Glysantin G48, as HOAT radiator antifreeze, contains silicates and organic additives at the same time. OAT stands for "Organic Acid Technology", HOAT for "Hybrid Organic Acid Technology".

Glysantin coolant: What are the differences?

One of the most frequently asked questions in connection with coolants: What are the differences? Isn't coolant the same as coolant? A widespread misconception: Glysantin is the same as Glysantin. Before you buy coolant in the ATO24 online store, we explain why this is not true and how to find the right coolant for your car or motorcycle!

Like all other coolants, the products in the Glysantin coolant product series differ in their specifications and approvals, which they fulfill. After all, not every coolant can be filled into every car. You must use the information in your vehicle manual as a guide. Here you will find either a specification according to the Glysantin system (i.e. a specification such as "G48", which directly indicates a product), one according to the Volkswagen system (e.g. "Use G11 coolant") or a release such as VW TL-774-C or Mercedes-Benz MB 325.0.

You can now clearly determine the correct Glysantin coolant according to this specification or release. Alternatively, you can use the Glysantin approval list, which allows allocation by car make and year of manufacture.

Glysantin G48 corresponds to VW G11 (TL-774-C)

The Glysantin G48 standard, which many vehicle manufacturers use as a guideline for the release of a coolant in their vehicle models, can be translated directly into the system of G standards of the Volkswagen VAG Group: The Glysantin G48 standard corresponds to the VW G11 standard and the VW approval VW TL-774-C, which the Glysantin G48 radiator antifreeze and anticorrosion agent has received from Volkswagen. Glysantin G48 can therefore be used in the following Volkswagen Group passenger cars:

• VW with from production date 1975 to 1996
• Audi cars from 1981 to 1996
• Skoda with year of construction 1989 to 1998
• Seat from 1985 to 1996
• Porsche before 1995

Please note that there are several newer releases for coolants in the Volkswagen group and check if you have to use a coolant after one of the subsequent releases. An overview of all approvals according to the Volkswagen G Standards can be found in our blog article "Which coolant is right for your car?".

MB 325.0 Release - Coolant for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars until 2014

Glysantin G48 receives Mercedes-Benz approval MB 325.0 for corrosion protection agents. It can therefore be used as an alternative to the Mercedes-Benz OEM product, the Mercedes corrosion/antifreeze agent MB 325.0. This approval, now largely replaced by Mercedes-Benz MB 325.6, can be used in vehicles with Mercedes-Benz passenger car engines up to and including the year of manufacture April 2014. It is essential to check the compatibility with your Mercedes engine before use by means of sheet 320.1 of the Mercedes-Benz operating instructions. You need a coolant according to the newer MB 325.6 regulation? No problem! You can also get Glysantin G40 coolant HERE at the ATO24 Online Shop!

Approved for vehicles BMW, Mini, Opel, Mitsubishi, etc.

The G48 antifreeze is approved by Opel B 040 0240 and is thus officially released by the manufacturer for vehicles built up to 2000. Furthermore, the BMW LC-87 approval opens up the possibility of using Glysantin G48 in a large number of BMW motorcycle models and all Mini models with gasoline engines built after 2001. Glysantin G48 is approved by Mitsubishi to be used in Mitsubishi Carisma cars built between 1996 and 2004 and Mitsubishi Colt cars between 2004 and 2007.

Glysantin G48 Ready Mix or concentrate?

Glysantin G48 products are available as practical Ready Mix or as concentrate variants. While the Ready Mix is a coolant that has already been prepared for application and filling, Glysantin G48 concentrate must be mixed with (distilled) water. The following mixing ratios are recommended:

• Mixing ratio 1:2 (30% Glysantin G48 + 70% water): Frost protection down to -20°C
• Mixing ratio 1:1.5 (40% Glysantin G48 + 60% water): Frost protection down to -27°C
• Mixing ratio 1:1 (50% Glysantin G48 + 50% water): Frost protection down to -40°C
