FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using MOTUL MoCool?
The primary benefit is reducing engine operating temperatures by up to 15°C (30°F), which improves cooling system efficiency and helps prevent overheating.
Does MOTUL MoCool provide antifreeze protection?
No, MOTUL MoCool does not provide any antifreeze protection. It is solely a coolant additive for heat management.
Can I use MOTUL MoCool without mixing it with water?

Troubleshooting
Engine still overheating after use
Ensure the correct 5% (20:1) mixture ratio with distilled water was used. Verify that the cooling system is functioning correctly (e.g., radiator, fan, thermostat) and check for any blockages. Ensure no racing regulations prohibit its use.
Coolant leaks observed
While MoCool is designed to be safe for seals and hoses, persistent leaks may indicate pre-existing wear or damage to these components, or improper installation. Inspect all connections and hoses.
Uncertainty about racing regulations
Always consult the specific rulebook for the racing organization or event you are participating in. Contact the race officials directly if there is any ambiguity regarding the use of coolant additives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare MOTUL MoCool for use, it must be mixed with distilled water at a ratio of 5% MoCool to 95% distilled water (20:1 ratio). Do not use the product in its pure form. MoCool is generally compatible with most coolants based on monoethylene glycol, but it's advisable to check compatibility if mixing with existing, unknown coolants. Ensure the cooling system is clean before adding the new mixture. For care, regularly check the coolant level and condition. While MoCool provides long-lasting protection, it's essential to follow standard vehicle maintenance schedules for flushing and replacing the coolant mixture.
