FAQ
1. What types of functional fluids are included in the BASINOL product line?
BASINOL offers coolant and brake fluid in this category. These include BASINOL Antifreeze, BASINOL Antifreeze Plus, BASINOL Antifreeze Extra, and BASINOL Brake Fluid DOT 4. With these products, BASINOL meets key requirements in the areas of cooling, freeze protection, corrosion protection, and hydraulic brake and clutch systems.
2. Why should you choose high-quality performance fluids?
High-quality functional fluids play a crucial role in vehicle performance. They protect critical components from wear, regulate heat dissipation, and optimize energy flow within the system. Low-quality or contaminated fluids can lead to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption, and damage to sensitive vehicle components.
3. How often do the operating fluids need to be changed?
The replacement intervals vary depending on the fluid and operating conditions. Brake fluid should generally be replaced every two years to ensure reliable braking performance. Coolant should be replaced approximately every three to five years to maintain corrosion protection and cooling performance. Hydraulic oils must be checked regularly for contamination, depending on the load, and replaced as necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the hydraulic systems.
4. What is BASINOL Antifreeze used for?
BASINOL Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol-based coolant concentrate. It protects the cooling system from frost, corrosion, and operational stresses. BASINOL describes the product as free of nitrites, amines, and phosphates, and formulated with a modern inhibitor additive package.
5. What is the difference between BASINOL Antifreeze, Antifreeze Plus, and Antifreeze Extra?
The products differ primarily in their technology and formulation. BASINOL Antifreeze is based on modern inhibitor technology, Antifreeze Plus on OAT technology, and Antifreeze Extra is described as a premium antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor featuring Si-OAT technology. This makes them suitable for different technical requirements and vehicle designs.
6. What is BASINOL Brake Fluid DOT 4 suitable for?
BASINOL Brake Fluid DOT 4 is a specialized fluid for hydraulic brake and clutch systems. It is designed to support the reliable operation of these systems and is one of the key fluids for vehicle safety.
7. Can BASINOL functional fluids be used in different parts of a vehicle?
Yes, BASINOL functional fluids cover a variety of vehicle functions. Coolants are essential for the cooling system, while DOT 4 brake fluid is used in hydraulic brake and clutch systems. BASINOL thus complements its engine oils and transmission oils with other important fluids for vehicle operation.
