KFS 18 – the new generation of radiator protection from LIQUI MOLY

#Car

When modern engines deliver full performance, they need something very special: reliable protection against overheating, corrosion and frost. This is precisely where our new Radiator Antifreeze KFS 18 comes in – the next evolutionary stage after the proven KFS 11, especially for BMW vehicles.

What makes our KFS 18 so special?

  • Greater vehicle coverage – ideal for many modern vehicles, including the latest BMW models.

  • Green color as a distinguishing feature – immediately recognizable.

  • State-of-the-art technology – with Si-OAT technology, an innovative combination of silicate and organic additives. This hybrid formula ensures: excellent anti-corrosion, very good thermal conductivity and a long engine service life

Strong protection – without compromise

Our KFS 18 contains no amines, borates or nitrites – i.e. is free of substances that are no longer up to date for environmental or technical reasons. Nevertheless, the product offers optimum protection against frost, overheating and corrosion as well as a high-quality protective effect for light alloy engines, especially at high temperatures.

Who is the KFS 18 suitable for?

Whether professional workshop or ambitious hobby mechanic – KFS 18 is suitable for cars (gasoline, diesel, hybrid, electric), commercial vehicles, motorcycles, buses, construction machines and more. Wherever modern engine technology is used and cooling system protection of this quality is required.

How to use KFS 18

  1. Clean the cooling system with our Radiator Cleaner
  2. Drain and flush the system
  3. Fill with KFS 18 and water (preferably distilled) according to the mixing table
  4. Finished! Your vehicle is now optimally protected

The replacement interval is based on the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer. Waste fluids should always be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

Our expertise in cooling systems

We not only offer a wide range of radiator antifreeze products, but also cover related areas. An example of this is our Radiator Cleaner, which is used for thorough preparation when the coolant is due to be changed. In turn, our Radiator Stop Leak ensures that leaks in the cooling system are immediately and completely sealed through dispersion in the hairline cracks, thus protecting the combustion chamber from damage caused by coolant ingress. A helpful feature: it can be used preventively and is compatible with all common coolant enhancers and antifreezes.
