- GlobalSpec's summary describes it as covering ethylene-glycol-based engine coolants used as aqueous solutions of 30–60% by volume. [2]

JIS K2234 vs a car maker's coolant
Japanese car makers sell their own genuine coolants: Toyota Super Long Life (00272-SLLC2), Honda Type 2 and Nissan Long Life Blue (999MP-L25500P), per their parts sites. A JIS K2234 claim shows a coolant meets the general standard; it does not mean the maker approved it for your car. Compare Toyota, Honda and Nissan.
