A. Fuchs Maintain Fricofin LD is for commercial vehicle, off-highway, agricultural and automotive cooling-system service where long-life OAT (Organic Acid Technology) G12+ coolant is specified — particularly Volvo, MAN, Caterpillar, Deutz, Volkswagen-group and John Deere engines.
A. Fuchs Maintain Fricofin LD is supplied as a concentrate and is mixed with water at the dilution ratio specified by the engine manufacturer.
A. Fuchs Maintain Fricofin LD is positioned as a G12+-class long-life OAT coolant.
A. An OEM Specification is the coolant requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 325.3, VW TL 774-D / G12+). When a coolant lists the code, the coolant manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a coolant engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the coolant has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 325.3). An Approval confirms the coolant is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
A. Fuchs Maintain Fricofin LD carries Volvo VCS-2; MAN M324 SNF; Caterpillar EC-1; Deutz DQC CB-14; VW TL 774; John Deere JDM H5; and a Ford specification (verify the specific Ford reference against the current product label).
A. OAT coolants use organic-acid carboxylate corrosion inhibitors rather than traditional silicate, phosphate or borate inhibitors. OAT coolants offer extended service intervals — up to 5 years or 250,000 km in many applications — compared to conventional coolants.
A. Both are G12+ OAT long-life coolant concentrates. Either can typically be selected based on lubricant supply preference and engine manufacturer approval list — Fricofin LD carries the broader OEM-approval set with Volvo VCS-2, CAT EC-1 and John Deere JDM H5 in addition to MAN, Deutz, VW and Ford approvals.
A. BS 6580 (UK) and ASTM D3306 (US) are the universal coolant performance standards every reputable coolant meets. They are your baseline check — match the standard your handbook specifies and the coolant is technically suitable for your system. Every coolant on our site lists its BS 6580 and ASTM D3306 classifications.
