Penrite Oil has raised the benchmark in cooling system protection with the launch of its new 12 year, 800,000 km OEM Approved Coolant range, engineered to meet the demands of modern passenger vehicles, light commercial fleets and workshops operating in longer service interval environments.
The upgraded range replaces Penrite’s previous 8-year coolant platform and is now available in OEM Green, Red, Blue and Purple formulations, each developed to match specific factory fill inhibitor technologies used by global vehicle manufacturers.
Available in both Premix and Concentrate, the Penrite OEM Approved Coolants deliver extended service life, reduced maintenance costs and full backward compatibility, making them a practical upgrade path for existing vehicles on the road.
OEM specific formulations, no guesswork
Unlike universal coolants, Penrite’s OEM approved range is built around manufacturer specific inhibitor packages, ensuring chemical compatibility with seals, metals and cooling system materials.
Green OEM Coolant
Designed for Asian vehicle applications requiring hybrid inhibitor technology, delivering excellent aluminium protection and long-term corrosion resistance.
Red OEM Coolant
Utilising advanced OAT programme based chemistry, ideal for vehicles requiring extended life organic acid technology, commonly specified by European and Japanese manufacturers.
Blue OEM Coolant
Formulated using Si OAT technology, meeting the needs of manufacturers that specify silicate enhanced long life coolants for high performance cooling systems.
Purple OEM Coolant
Engineered using PSi OAT inhibitor technology, meeting the requirements of late model OEM platforms demanding low silicate, phosphate enhanced organic acid formulations, increasingly specified in modern European and global vehicle architectures.
Each Premix is blended at a 50 percent concentration to meet OEM requirements straight out of the bottle, removing dilution risk at the workshop level.
Built for longer service intervals
As vehicle manufacturers push for longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership, coolant performance has become mission critical. Penrite’s OEM formulations provide:
• 12 Year or 800,000 km service life.
• Protection against corrosion, scale, electrolysis and cavitation.
• Compatibility across a wide range of OEM specifications.
• Available in 1L, 5L, 20L, 60L and 205L quantities.
Toby Dymond, CEO of Penrite Oil Company, said the update reflects how workshops and fleets now operate.
“This range is about removing compromises. We’ve taken proven OEM chemistry and extended the service life to suit modern vehicles, while keeping application clarity for workshops. It’s a smarter, longer lasting solution that delivers real value.”
Designed for trade, backed by support
With four clearly defined OEM Approved coolant types covering the majority of vehicles on New Zealand roads, Penrite has simplified coolant selection while maintaining strict compliance with manufacturer requirements.
