Fuchs Maintain Fricofin Range

Need coolant with approvals? Consider the Fuchs Maintain Fricofin LL, HDD and DP product range.

A long with its extensive line-up of Engine, Transmission and Gear Oils, Fuchs Lubricants also offers an impressive selection of Coolants ideally suited for the Australian and New Zealand markets.

And seen by the following three products, Fuchs’ range of Coolant not only feature industry relevant technologies, they also list Approvals from several of the world’s largest Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Maintain Fricofin LL

Maintain Fricofin LL is a long-term anti-frost coolant concentrate based on monoethylene glycol suitable for both passenger car and heavy-duty applications as well as stationary combustion engines.

Maintain Fricofin LL is an advanced coolant free of nitrites, amines, silicates and phosphates and is formulated using the highly efficient Organic Acid Technology (OAT).

Although suitable for a large range of vehicle applications, Maintain Fricofin features critical approvals from such Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) as Caterpillar, Deutz, MAN and Mercedes-Benz.

FUCHS suggests to always follow the OEM drain interval recommendation.

However, and as a guide, Maintain Fricofin LL comes with these nominal recommendations:

  • Commercial vehicles 500,000 km / 8000 hrs
  • Passenger cars 250,000 km / 2000 hrs
  • Stationary engines 30,000 hrs / 5 years

Maintain Fricofin LL is available both as a Concentrate or a 50/50 premix for convenience and for use in areas where water quality is not ideal.

  • Finally, Maintain Fricofin LL is available in 5, 20 and 205L packs.

Maintain Fricofin HDD

Maintain Fricofin HDD is an ultra-high-performance engine coolant concentrate that is also based on monoethylene glycol for use primarily in heavy duty diesel applications as well as stationary engines.

Maintain Fricofin HDD is free of amines and phosphates and features low silicate HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) technology which protects highly loaded engines against frost, overheating, corrosion and cavitation.

Its universal usability (i.e. suitable for use in trucks, stationary engines and engines in off-highway equipment) makes Maintain Fricofin HDD ideal for engines, cylinder heads and radiators made from aluminium.

Also, the extended life composition of Maintain Fricofin HDD means no requirement for Supplement Coolant Additive (SCA) or coolant extender for up to 6 years, 12,000 hours or 1,000,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, FUCHS always recommends

that users follow the guidelines from Original Equipment Manufacturers regarding coolant system maintenance and advises SCA should not be added unless coolant testing indicates they are required.

Along with its strong list of recommendations, Maintain Fricofin HDD also features an Original Equipment Manufacturer Approval from MTU.

Maintain Fricofin HDD is available both as a Concentrate or a 50/50 premix for convenience and use in areas where water quality is not ideal.

Finally, Maintain Fricofin HDD is also available in 20 and 205L packs.

Maintain Fricofin DP

Maintain Fricofin DP is a coolant based on the latest Silicated Organic Acid Technology (SOAT) required by an increasing number of European vehicles.

Like the Maintain Fricofin LL and HDD products, Maintain Fricofin DP is an engine coolant based on monoethylene glycol being free from nitrite, amine and phosphate.

With Maintain Fricofin DP, both passenger car and heavy-duty applications are again reliably protected against damages caused by cavitation, frost, corrosion and overheating, especially in highly stressed aluminium engines.

In addition, Maintain Fricofin DP provides fast build up and long-lasting surface protection, especially to all components made of alloy.

However, Maintain Fricofin DP must be diluted with water before being applied to the coolant system. Also, this product is only recommended for use in combustion engines. Along with its list of recommendations,

Maintain Fricofin DP also features key Original equipment Manufacturer Approvals from Deutz, MAN and Mercedes-Benz.

Maintain Fricofin DP is available both as a Concentrate or a 50/50 premix for convenience and use in areas where water quality is not ideal.

Finally, it is also available in 5, 20 and 205L packs.
