Save Extra With 1 Offer
A. Shell Coolant Extra is for engine cooling-system service requiring silicate-based HOAT coolant — typically older engines, certain Volkswagen-group applications and commercial vehicles where G11 nitrite-free coolant is specified.
A. Shell Coolant Extra is supplied as a concentrate and is mixed with water at the dilution ratio specified by the engine manufacturer.
A. Shell Coolant Extra is positioned as a G11-class silicate HOAT coolant — meeting VW TL 774C, the G11 specification.
A. HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) coolants combine silicate-based corrosion inhibitors with organic-acid carboxylate inhibitors. HOAT coolants offer the rapid aluminium protection of silicate chemistry alongside some of the extended service life of pure OAT coolants.
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. Shell Coolant Extra carries MAN M324 NF (commercial vehicle engine coolant); Deutz DQC CA-14 (Deutz engine coolant); and VW TL 774C (G11).
A. Both are Shell coolant concentrates. Shell Coolant Longlife is the OAT G12-class long-life coolant for extended-service-interval applications. Shell Coolant Extra (this product) is the HOAT G11-class silicate hybrid coolant — typically for older engines or applications specifying VW TL 774C / G11 chemistry.
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.
