"Meets X per manufacturer" is our shorthand for any of the manufacturer's own phrases: meets, meets or exceeds, approved, or recommended for applications requiring. It is the manufacturer's claim, not an approval by Coolant.com or by the vehicle maker. Codes are copied as published. Some sources list codes for compatibility rather than formal approval. The wording above shows which.

What the manufacturer says it is for

It is recommended for use in BMW®, Mercedes-Benz®, Volvo® and other newer model light duty gasoline or diesel powered vehicles requiring a nitrite, amine and phosphate (NAP) free, OAT engine coolant.

Quoted from the manufacturer's page. Coolant.com has not verified fitment for any vehicle, and a listed make or year range is the manufacturer's statement, not ours.

  • Chemistry is listed as HOAT. Mixing different chemistries can shorten coolant life. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and use the mixing checker before topping up.
  • Sold premixed: pour as supplied. Do not add water unless the label says to.
