The Good Coolant Campaign Kenya

Many motorists in East Africa face the challenge of engine damage as a result of vehicle overheating. Overheating can be traced back to the use of low quality or fake coolant. BASF has partnered with oil marketing companies in the region to sensitize motorist about the dangers of using coolants of dubious quality. Indeed, such coolants are nothing more than water with a dye. The campaign aims to empower the motorist with the correct information regarding coolants so that they can make informed decisions.
