BASF coolant at a glance
BASF products in this directory are made or sold by BASF. We list 1 of them, 1 data-center. Listed chemistries: not published (1). Listed colours: not published (1). 0 of 1 state a service life, and 0 make a "free of" claim (for example silicate-free or nitrite-free).
These counts describe what BASF publishes, not how good a product is. A product with no listed spec codes may still meet them. It means the manufacturer did not print them on the page we checked.

Chemistries BASF lists
Chemistry is the inhibitor family that protects the metals in a cooling system. Here is what BASF names across its products, with a short explanation of each family:
- not published (1 product): The manufacturer does not name the inhibitor technology on the source we checked.
Two products in the same family are not always interchangeable, because additive levels and approvals differ. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and G11, G12, G13 and G48.
Specs and approvals BASF lists
The BASF sources we checked list no OEM or industry spec codes. That is common for genuine vehicle-maker coolants, which are identified by part number and specified by name in the owner's manual. Check the label or your manual for the exact designation.
How to choose a BASF coolant
These are data-center cooling fluids, not engine coolants. Choose them only against the CDU and hardware vendor's approval list. See the liquid cooling hub and the DC coolant comparator.

Where to buy BASF coolant
0 of 1 BASF product pages here carry retailer links. These are the links BASF itself shows on its product page, or its official parts store. Where a product has a verified Amazon listing we also show an Amazon link, which is an affiliate link (we may earn a commission). Other links are not affiliate links. Many retailers block automated checks, so each link is labelled with its check status. We do not show prices.
Compare with other coolant brands
Brand matters less than the spec code. If BASF does not list the code in your manual, check whether Castrol, Arteco, ACDelco or Zerex does, or search every product at once in Find my car coolant. The full list is in the coolant brands index.
