Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Prestone MAX 56/44 Antifreeze/Coolant, 1 gallon, is a ready-to-use, pre-mixed solution engineered for modern engines that demand reliable protection across seasons. The 56/44 formulation provides robust freeze protection down to -50°F and a maximum operating temperature of 229°F, helping prevent costly cold starts and overheating in heat waves.

Key benefits that set MAX 56/44 apart

  • Pre-mixed 56/44 HOAT GO-5 formulation—no dilution required, which means faster fills and fewer dilution mistakes. This GO-5 HOAT blend balances corrosion inhibitors with long-life performance to guard cooling-system metals like aluminum and cast iron.
  • Wide OEM and industry approvals—designed to meet and exceed a broad range of standards, including ASTM D3306, ASTM D4985, and WSS-M97B51-A1 (GO-5 HOAT) as well as WSS-M97B55-A (P-OAT) and GM-6277M. It’s formulated to align with real-world vehicle requirements.
  • Extensive vehicle compatibility—compatible with vehicle specifications from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Audi/VW, Ford, Fiat/Chrysler, and more. The product text reflects approvals and specs like BMW N 600 69.0, Mercedes-Benz Specification 325.0, Volvo Car 1286083, Honda Type 2, JIS K2234, Nissan Type L25500P, and several Fiat/Chrysler/MS family approvals.
  • Reliable protection for today’s engines—the formula targets both cooling efficiency and long-term protection against rust, corrosion, and scale, helping extend the life of the radiator, water pump, heater-core, and gaskets.

Who should consider Prestone MAX 56/44

  • Drivers with modern cars that require HOAT GO-5 or P-OAT specifications and OEM-grade coolant performance
  • Car owners seeking a fast, no-dilution solution that reduces the guesswork of mixing and ensures proper protection
  • Fleet managers aiming for consistency across a mixed-brand lineup with wide compatibility

Use cases and practical tips

  • Seasonal maintenance: use during routine coolant refills or when flushing and filling the cooling system to maintain optimal protection levels.
  • Maintenance simplicity: pour directly from the 1-gallon container without measuring or diluting, then monitor the cooling system per your vehicle’s manual.
  • Performance assurance: crafted to maintain effective heat transfer and corrosion resistance across a broad temperature range, keeping engines cooler in summer and protected in winter starts.

With the convenience of a single-gallon, pre-mixed solution and a comprehensive set of OEM approvals, Prestone MAX 56/44 Antifreeze/Coolant is a practical, dependable choice for safeguarding your engine’s cooling system year-round. Choose MAX 56/44 to pair ease of use with proven, wide-ranging protection that aligns with your vehicle’s requirements.
