Antifreeze g12 highway Dzerzhinsk reviews

Water doesn't burn, but antifreeze easily does. We tell and show how dangerous coolants are if they contain cheap chemicals instead of expensive components.

Many people purchase unusable fluids for the cooling system not out of greed or stupidity. On the counter, all coolants look quite decent, and their price tags are similar. The difference in price usually depends on the seller's appetite and his marketing tricks (attractive advertising, beautiful packaging, promotions), but often not on the content. To help car enthusiasts choose a good fluid, we conducted another investigation.

Fire!

The main experiment is so simple that anyone can repeat our experiments. This includes manufacturers who have doubts about the results of ZR experiments: check whether your products burn or not.

Coolant becomes flammable when the manufacturer uses cheaper glycerin and methanol instead of expensive ethylene glycol. After all, the boiling point of methanol is only 64 degrees (normal coolant boils at a temperature of approximately 108 ºС). And this is dangerous not only because such antifreeze can flare up, accidentally landing, for example, on a hot collector.

Let's take a look inside the engine. The pistons move up and down, the crankshaft rotates. Such “gymnastics” inevitably causes vibrations in the cylinder walls: the liners begin to vibrate. The coolant experiences pressure changes, periodically boiling. In this case, air bubbles appear on the outer walls of the liners, which, when bursting, give rise to the effect of cavitation. And if the liquid is low-boiling (with glycerin and methanol), cavitation increases sharply. The bubbles explode, gnawing pieces of metal from the cartridges. After that, there are two options: major repairs or trash. Similarly, the coolant pump impeller suffers from cavitation.

In addition, if vapor locks occur in the cooling system, the coolant stops circulating. The engine begins to overheat, the methanol from the coolant boils away, leaving an aqueous solution of glycerol with a crystallization temperature of -20 to -12 ºС. And such “antifreeze” may well freeze.

Motul Inugel G13 is a cooling lobride solution consisting of monoethylene glycol, glycerin and additives - organic and inorganic. Provides reliable protection of metal engine elements, including thanks to additives, from extremely low and high temperatures, as well as scale and corrosion. Used for cooling vehicle systems.

Product Description

Coolant Lukoil G11 is an auto chemical that is produced using modern hybrid technologies, where silicate and organic additives are used simultaneously, in mixed form. The most important consistency is the base. It is based on ethylene glycol, to which silicates and organic salts are added.

As a result of use, in addition to the cooling effects, a protective film is simultaneously created on the surface of the entire system where it is filled. Helps prevent metal destruction of tubes and other parts. There are protective properties against corrosion due to the fact that inhibitors are concentrated in places more susceptible to it.

Coolant is produced in two types, using the same technology. It can be blue, with the inscription on the label Lukoil Blue, and green - Lukoil Green. With such a difference in color, the quality, cooling technology, operating principle, shelf life and performance characteristics of the chemicals are the same and are no different from each other.

An excellent tool to prevent the engine from defrosting in winter and in regions with cold climatic conditions. The temperature at which liquid crystallization begins to form must reach -40 degrees Celsius.

It is a unique and universal cooler with a service life of up to three years. After this period, some characteristics become unusable (the degree of crystallization may increase) and it is advisable to replace it, of course. Some motorists do not do this, for certain reasons, and the antifreeze continues to work in the engine without causing any damage or damage.

Lukoil antifreeze is a product that reliably protects the cooling and heating system of the car interior from freezing, corrosion, scale formation and engine overheating.

What antifreeze to buy

When purchasing, you do not need to be guided by the color of the coolant - the company can make adjustments to the palette when concluding a purchase and sale agreement. The composition should not contain nitrites, amines, borates, other harmful components, as well as methanol and cheap glycerin. The longer the working period, the lower the freezing temperature and the higher the boiling point, the better. It is advisable to change the coolant to the same or another one from the previous manufacturer. According to a simplified scheme:

1. the hybrid mixture can be replaced with: Felix Prolonger G11, CoolStream Hybrid Extra or diluted MOBIL Antifreeze Extra;

2. for filling after the carboxylate composition, the following are suitable: Sintec LUX G12, Liqui Moly Langzeit Kuhlerfrostschutz GTL 12 Plus or Liqui Moly Kuhlerfrostschutz KFS 2001 Plus solution;

3. It is better to buy a lobride substance: Sintec UNLIMITED G12++ or Motul Inugel G13.
