Tosol is a brand of domestic antifreeze, designed in 1971, which began to be produced in Tolyatti during the USSR. There were only 2 types of domestic antifreeze: Tosol-40 (blue color) and Tosol-65 (red).

Antifreezes are distinguished by additives included in it:

• Traditional antifreeze;
• Hybrid antifreeze G-11 (Hybrid, "Hybrid Coolants", Hoat (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology));
• Carboxylate antifreeze G-12, G-12 + ("Carboxylate COOLANTS", OAT (Organic Acid Technology));
• Ledok antifreeze G-12 ++, G-13 ("Lobrid Coolants" or "Soat Coolnts").

Replace coolant on Honda Civic for several reasons:

• The term of antifreeze ends - the concentration of inhibitors in it decreases, the heat transfer decreases;
• Reduced the level of antifreeze from leaks - His level in the expansion tank of Honda must remain constant. In this case, it can flow through looseness in compounds, or cracks in the radiator, nozzles.
• The level of antifreeze has decreased due to engine overheating - Antifreeze begins to throw, in the tube of the expansion tank of the cooling system of Honda Civic, a safety valve opens, dropping the antifreeze pairs into the atmosphere.
• Replacing the details of the cooling system of Honda Civic or engine repair;

Signs for which the state of spent antifreeze in Honda Civic is determined:

• Results test strips;
• Measurement of antifreeze in the Honda Civic refractometer or the range;
• Changing the color shade: for example, there was green, rusty or yellow, as well as turbidity, fading;
• The presence of chips, chips, scale, foam.

Finished washing poured into expansion tank Radiator Honda Civic with a muffled engine. It is definitely necessary to warm up to the operating temperature, to operate the thermostat and antifreeze began to circulate big circle cooling systems.

Then the engine is rented, for 30 minutes they give to work on idling. Dry washing liquid. The operation is repeated depending on the composition of the flowing fluid. The washing mixture can be used only in the first approach, in the subsequent - distilled water. The replacement time of antifreeze on Honda Civic is from half an hour, with washing - up to 1.5 hours.

Antifreeze for Honda Civic 8

When buying, you need to know the shade - Color and A type Antifreeze, permissible for the year of release your Civic 8. The manufacturer choose at your discretion. Do not forget - each type of fluid has its own service life.
For example: For Honda Civic (8 generation) 2005 GV, with gasoline or diesel engine type, the carboxylate class of antifreeze is suitable, type G12 + with shades of red. The approximate term of the next replacement of which will be 5 years old. Opportunity, deposit the selected fluid for compliance with the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer specifications and maintenance intervals. It's important to know Each type of liquid is its color. There are rare cases when the type is tinted with different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from purple to light torus (in green and yellow Tezhe Principles).
Mix liquid different manufacturers — canIf their types correspond to the mixing conditions. G11 can be mixed with analogs G11 G11 can not be mixed with G12 G11 can be mixed G12 + G11 you can mix G12 ++ G11 can be mixed G13 G12 can be mixed with analogs G12 G12 can not be mixed with G11 G12 can be mixed with G12 + G12 can not be mixed with G12 ++ G12 can not be mixed with G13 G12 +, G12 ++ and G13 can be mixed with each other. Antifreeze with Tosol is not allowed. No way! Tosol and antifreeze are very different in quality. Tosol is the trade name of the traditional type (TL) of the cooling fluid of the old sample. At the end of the service life - the liquid is completely discolored or faster. Before replacing one type of liquid to another, rinse the car radiator with ordinary water.

Liquid crib For Honda Civic 6 generation, like Restayl and Dorestayl. Mostly all fluids go under the brand Honda.And probably besides oil (although it is not bad) all liquids show themselves with a great side without complaints.

Petrol

If you have a Honda Civic with the SFI system (D14A3, D14A4), then in principle enough AI-92.. If you have D15Z6, D16Y8 or Restaylov D14Z1, D14Z2 as they already have a compression ratio above, due to the adopted EURO-2 ecology standards. In such Honda already used AI-95, and usually 2 lambda probe. Above the degree of compression, above the octane number. Gasoline of course you can mix. Because of the long downtime of the car, usually the octane number falls. At low octane number (For example, AI-76) it is easy to catch detonation. Additions are better not to use.

Motor oil

When repaired engine Honda. Used 4 liter bank plus 1 liter, as all surfaces are clean, and lubricated on a new one. With a normal replacement, approximately 4 liters of oil are used, taking into account oil filter. Depending on the version of the engine and the presence of the VTEC system variations usually from 3.3 to 3.7 liters. Let me remind you that the risks on the oil probe min and max correspond to the difference in 1 liter of oil. More about oil in the article. Earlier synthetic oil It was Honda 5W-30 SM, now he was replaced new index 5W-3O SNAnd the canister began to look like in the photo.

Liquid gur, steering rack

The regular replacement of the hydraulic power system of the steering (GUR) system, accommodates 1.2 liters. It is recommended to take the Honda PSF-II liquid, just go to such a volume. 2-3 jars. Also, the quantity is necessary and when the steering rack is the bulkhead, in general, take 3 Banks Honda PSF-II And you can't make wrong. UPD 2016: For the last 2 years, I will be a gunk fluid - yellow bottle.

Brake fluid

Usually the original brake fluid is poured Honda, DOT-4 Standard. Can be interfered With glycolic brake fluids of different standards (not silicone!), For example, in DOT-4, you can pour DOT-3 (which is lower than the standard and not particularly reconcally) or DOT-5.1 (which is higher and better). Dot-5 poured in DOT-4. In general, interfere with the brake fluids is not recommended, and it is not worth saving. Topper volume 1 liter when replacing (2 bottles of 0.5). If a expansion Bachek brake system It was not drained, from when replacing the front disks, it is possible to pump only before. Procedure for pumping brakes Assembly: left front, right rear, right front, left rear wheels.

Liquid in clutch

Be that as it may, in the hydraulic clutch system pour -, brake fluid . This is usually DOT-4. Pumping fitting is located on the cylinder of the clutch.

Cooling fluid to radiator

Coolant, it is antifreeze, the whole cooling system accommodates itself approximately 6 liters of coolant. Standard Honda Coolnt Type 2 or Honda Long Life Type 2. But I personally take the concentrate Liqui Mole and launches the desired ratio (distilled water) depending on the season in the summer and winter. Color blue or green, not red!

Oil in CIVIC automatic transmission

Usually the type of oil in the automatic transmission is written in the probe gearbox, Honda Civic is no exception. In the automatic transmission is poured Honda ATF-Z1 (New ATF-DW1) 3 liters. The problem is that simply change the liquid will not work, since the drain plug is above the dead bottom point. As a result, the replacement occurs in parts. Slied through the plug, left one quarter, poured new oil, rode 100km, replaced again. And so up to 3 times. Naturally, the replacement occurs on the warm automatic transmission. Color is usually red, check the color of the oil, you can moisten a napkin of a drop with oil affection Automatic transmission No Dextron. ATF-DW1 Although different from ATF-Z1what is synthetic, but partial replacement Holds, so it is possible to "interfere" 1 to 4 such oils at partial (three-time) replacement of oil in the automatic transmission without fear of the consequences.

Antifreeze is a liquid that is designed to cool the engine. Due to its composition, serves as a lubricant of the inner surfaces of the Honda Civic system, including the water pump. The refrigerant prevents the formation of corrosion, thereby extending the service life power aggregate Auto.

With Honda Civic dries antifreeze

Antifreeze is working fluidwhich circulates in the engine cooling system. Insufficient level Such a liquid or loss of properties, air traffic jams, etc. lead to the fact that the engine is not able to work in optimal mode.

If the antifreeze is drowned with Honda, then this is a serious problem that it costs to immediately decide. The slightest flow can turn into serious flow, which in turn will lead to negative consequences and the need to repair the motor. It is important to find the place of leakage and eliminate leak. But how to do it and with what you can eliminate it, described below.

The engine cooling system consists of several main units, as well as connecting nozzles. The antifreeze itself is a mixture of a concentrated substance with water in certain proportions. As the engine is working, the temperature of the coolant is also heated while in the engine cooling system under pressure. Any loose and leakage connections are caused for leaks.

Problems may arise both with the units themselves and with nozzles. Since the leaks can be intense or low, it is worth finding out a number of common the causes of leakage of the coolant:

• Natural wear of elements as exploit;
• Mechanical damage;
• Errors are allowed when assembling elements during implementation repair work under the hood;
• Serious violations of the rules of operation of the car;
• Depressurization of the cooling system.

Finding out the causes of leakage, you should pay attention to signs indicating to flow.

1 — oH level

Primary sign indicating the problem - level of coolant in the expansion tank. Its constant decrease indicates problems with antifreeze. Accounting does not take reducing the level of refrigerant at external temperature fluctuations (when the engine is working, the liquid comes to normal).

2 — wet spots

Other The characteristic sign of the leaks will be wet spots, gathered drops of coolant and others. Visual inspection should help in the detection of the location of the leak, but if this is not enough, then to flow is searched by by alternately checking all component elements cooling systems.

3 — problems in the expansion tank

Problems in the expansion tank. Antifreeze can flow from under the lid. Co. will be evaporated through cracks, slots that may appear on the tank body or on the lid. We visually determine what antifreeze flows precisely for this reason is difficult, microcracks are not always noticeable. To resolve the problem, the tank cover should be swapped.

4 — problems with connections

Problems with nozzles and connections. Motorists are recommended a simple way to identify leaks: a sheet of paper that is placed under a car or protected if installed on a car. If the spots of the coolant appeared, it is necessary to immediately inspect the nozzles, hoses, their locations with the radiator. Inspect the laying of the thermostat, to flow from under it is quite common. If the problem lies in the thermostat housing, the unit is changed.

Experts recommend to inspect rubber pipes first, because access to them is not difficult. If the problem lies in this element, it will not be discontinued. Nozzles lose their performance due to cracking, because the rubber product is subjected to constant temperature effects, working in heating mode - cooling. During inspection, check all parties to detect cracks (in some cases, a mirror and highlighting for hard-to-reach places is used).

Checking rubber pipes, it should be borne in mind that the problem can be not only in the aggregate itself, but also in the connection places. To do this, check the reliability of the tightening of the clamps at the connection site of the nozzle with the fitting. Higher tighten the connection in some cases solves the problem.

Car owners are interested in how to eliminate leaks of coaches from radiator and nozzles, and also how to eliminate leaks in connecting places nozzle and fitting? Recommendations are as follows:

• radiator cooling or heater radiator is repaired or replaced. Repair includes soldering or uses sealant for cooling system;
• to eliminate the leakage of the refrigerant from the nozzles, the element is completely replaced or a special sealant is used (temporarily).

5 — water pump

Pump check. Inspection of the water pump of the cooling system in the event that the system is all in order with other elements. The leakage in this case occurs for the following reason: the gland seal of the pump of the coolant loses its properties. Emerging in the pump rod, it sprinkles. It can be seen if you hold visual inspection: Located close to the details will have traces of the coolant. If the refrigerant flows from under the water pump, it is replaced.

6 - R. adiator Stove.

Radiator stove. Since this unit proceeds not much, the coolant is evaporated from the system. Focusing on such signs like fading windshield and a sweetish smell of antifreeze in the cabin. Critical is considered to be detected under the legs, under the front passenger chair, Coolant Measures to eliminate leaks in this case should be taken immediately.

7 - T. turn from the head of the cylinder block

Leak from under the head of the cylinder block. This kind of flow is a sign of cracks in the BC or GBC, as well as indicates a breakdown of block head block.

8 — mileage

Often, problems with laying and as a result, flow, arise on the car, mileage which exceeds 100 thousand kmOr the manufacturer does not allow you to use the item without having replaced it. The gasket is experiencing strong loads without coping with its task.

9 — cracks block

The most serious problem of leaks antifreeze is considered to be cracks of a block or cylinder head. If the problems affect the channels of the lubricant and cooling system, then mixes motor oil and refrigerant. As a result, the required lubricant does not occur, the level of antifreeze falls, which poorly affects the operation of the unit. The motor is worn or completely fails.

Checked the hitting of the coolant into the cylinder block as follows.: The oil level is checked and the emulsion is examined. In the event of an increase in the level, as well as on the diploma, a brownish-white foam is noticeable, one can definitely say about the refrigerant hitting the lubricant system. Having twisted the candle and conducting them to inspect, it can also be argued to enter antifreeze into oil. White exhausts are an additional sign that the coolant came from the cooling engine of the system into the cylinder block.
An insignificant leak of antifreeze can be eliminated by using the refrigerant, which contains special fluorescent dyes. They are sold separately and they can be added to the already flooded antifreeze into the cooling system.

Cooling fluid replacement instructions

The Honda Civic cooling system is an important component that ensures the proper operation of the engine, by maintaining the optimal temperature. In the conditions of urban use of the car, the temperature is able to reach 100-105 degrees (when working temperature - 90 degrees). This affects the loss oil of DVS and the automatic transmission of their properties, it is not possible to lubricate elements for optimal work. As a result, the deformation of the engine elements and their failure occurs.

How to choose antifreeze for Honda Civic And how much fluid is required? It is necessary on average 4-6 liters of refrigerant to fill the system of the coolant (the engine type and the volume of the radiator is taken into account). For Honda Civic used:

• original Honda Coolant Type 2 liquid;
• Honda Long Life Type 2;
• original number 0l999-9011;
• color coolant Honda blue.

Car owners are interested in the question of what the Type 1 refrigerant differs from the Type 2 coolant? 1 View (OEM 08C04-TH green) is a concentrate not diluted with water. The second view is a mixture ready for use for the engine cooling system. It is 50% water and 50% concentrate. Red refrigerant is not mentioned in any OEM documentation on cars Honda. 92-2000 years.

Is it worth the car owner to save and pour water, and not a special cooling fluid? Negative sides Use of water to cooling systems:

• at a temperature of 100 degrees, water begins to boil;
• zakipev, it goes into steam and weathering;
• the amount of coolant decreases;
• as a result, the engine overheats.

If you use a special refrigerant based on glycerin, alcohol, glycol, the temperature capabilities of the liquid are expanding, reaching 110 degrees. It is not necessary to unnecessary with water, as it reduces the boiling point.

Are there any precautions before replacing antifreeze in 4D Civic? Definitely, otherwise the driver can burn both hands and face with a poisonous liquid.

We list the precautions:

• To protect yourself from the refrigerant hitting the open areas of the body, on the paint of the car;
• If the spray is detected on the surface of the car or on the body, it is necessary to wash the areas with an abundant amount of water;
• Antifreeze is a poisonous liquid, not allowing it to fall into the body;
• Do not leave coolant in the open container (the cover is not twisted after use);
• The liquid that spilled on the floor or the ground is maximally wiping / assembled / washed;
• Do not conduct work on replacing the coolant, if there are children or animals nearby, as they can go on a sweetish smell of fluid;
• The exhaust fluid is rendered to special items, or you should consult with the specialists of the maintenance station, which is done with it. In any case, it does not merge into the sewage / ditch / on the ground.

Before proceeding directly to work, you should prepare consumableswhich include list required tools To replace antifreeze in Honda Civic:

• Concentrate and distilled water for mixing fluid;
• Antifreeze is ready if the car owner does not want to dilute it independently;
• Distilled water for flushing cooling system;
• Ratchet with head "on 19";
• Package for draining the exhaust liquid.

• Replacing the fluid is necessary according to the schedule maintenance cars. The regular replacement of antifreeze on Honda Civic 7 will save the cooling system from corrosion and ensures frost resistance in winter;
• For the preparation of the mixture, it is necessary to use only a concentrate prepared on the basis of ethylene glycol. Depending on the composition, the level of metal protection is determined;
• Before pouring the liquid, it is necessary to completely free the OS from the spent fluid, after which it is recommended to rinse it, check the reliability of all fixings;
• After replacing antifreeze on Honda Civic 4D, to the neck of the expansion tank, it is necessary to attach a special sticker on which to indicate when the antifreeze was replaced by the Honda Civic 4D, which refrigerant brand was used;
• Antifreeze is not used as a liquid for the washing of glasses. Paintwork Body panels will definitely be damaged from such practices.

So, further sequence of actions Next: Drain of coolant, which is more unsuitable, washing the cooling system and fill a new refrigerant. Next, every process is step by step.

Plum

It should be waited until the engine will cool down. No action is performed until the liquid in the cooling system under pressure can burn hands and face if you begin actions.

Thereafter, Drain of antifreeze with tank Honda has the following procedure:

• remove the lid of the extelling tank of the car cooling system;
• the lid turns counterclockwise until the first stop, thus dropping the pressure in the system;
• when hissing is over, the cover is twisted to the second stop and removed from the tank neck;
• under the drain fitting (located at the bottom of the radiator) are breeding a pre-prepared container;
• not turning completely, but only weakening the plug, drain the liquid into the container. In some cases, a special hose is put on the fitting, which is directed to the drainage container;
• so that the fluid is freely merged, it is necessary to weaken air output valves from the system. Depending on the car model, such valves can be located on the outlet fitting of the car heat exchanger, at the top of the thermostat casing, etc.;
• after the antifreeze for Honda Civic stops to pour, the container is installed under a drain plug in the rear of the cylinder block;
• the drain plug turned out, allowing the coolant to flow into the installed capacity;
• when the entire liquid flows, the drainage plugs of the radiator and the cylinder block are installed in place.

Flushing

If the car owner believes casually to timely replacement The coolant, if there was a strong reflection of the refrigerant due to the frequent dilution with water, the engine is no longer cooled properly, since the scale of scale on the walls of the channel channels occurred, and corrosion can also be selected.

You can restore the efficiency of the engine cooling system by washing the system. But it should be noted that the radiator is washed separately from the engine cooling system, since the opposite can lead to contamination of the entire system.

Radiator

Sequence of action when washing the radiator:

• A drain plug and a radiator air supply valve should be tightened;
• From the radiator disconnect all hoses related to the operation of the cooling system;
• The hose is inserted into the receiving pipe of the upper hose on the radiator through which water is carried out. Water intake is necessary until water flowing through the bottom nozzle will not be clean;
• it is possible to achieve water transparency if used for flushing a special cleaning agent. If this method does not help, then the radiator is completely removed from the car and is washed according to the instructions from the manufacturer.

Engine cylinder block

You should follow the following about action When washing a block:

• It is required to tighten the drain plug of the engine and air output valves from the system;
• The thermostat is extracted, and its cover is temporarily installed in place;
• Both hoses are disconnected from the radiator, the hose through which water is supplied to the top. This is done until water flows through the lower hose will not be transparent;
• Upon completion of the washing, the thermostat is installed in place and the cooling system hoses are connected.

Location drain plug Honda Civic Antifreeze on Block DVS

Filling the refrigerant system

Before you begin to fill the system with antifreeze, the working condition of the hoses is checked, they are firmly fixed on fittings and pipes (using clamps). Equally, it is checked, the presence and reliability of the installation of the release tubes of the radiator and the cylinder block is checked.

Original Blue Honda Cooling Liquid

Sequencing:

• The lid is removed from the expansion tank;
• Next step - let go of the release valve aerial traffic systems;
• For the fill, a special intermediate tank is used (in order to avoid air traffic jams). It should fit tightly to the neck of the expansion tank. It is recommended to use a plastic bottle (selected depending on the neck, so that there is a suitable diameter, the bottom of the bottle is cut off);
• Install a watering can on the expansion tank and slowly pour antifreeze. The refrigerant is poured on air intake valves. After all the air leaves through the tube, the valve is delayed. Follow the next valve to tighten it on time. The procedure continues as long as the valve located on maximum heightwill be tightened;
• Engine starts with fast speeds at idle (limit - 2000 / min). After the cooling system fan works 3 times, it is necessary to drown out the engine;
• Leave the engine so that it is cooled, then remove the watering can;
• Check the refrigerant level in the cooling system. If necessary, add the required amount of coolant the same composition and the same brand.

During the execution of the works described above, it should be extremely attentive, so that the fluid did not hit the skin of the hands, did not spat the face, since she was poisonous.

Replacing antifreeze in other models of Honda

Honda Civic - a common car on the market. A large number of car owners think that the replacement of antifreeze on all models
Honda is made equally, but it is not. Next, some important differences between the replacement on such models as Honda Civic X4, Honda Civic 7, for the Civic Model 4D, all detailed information is in the text.

Replacing antifreeze on Honda X4

Mix the refrigerant on Honda Civic X4 it is necessary through the pump. Antifreeze is poured through the neck, which is located under the right plastic lid (under the seat). The neck is placed below air filter. On the traffic jam you can notice the inscription with laying letters "COOLANT".

The next step is to find a radiator. On the left side of the hose from it goes to the pump. Next, the driver will notice the medium-sized copper walker bolt. On Civic X4 cars, it is located above the footrest ( lower point). Procedure Next:

• A bolt is unscrewed and the refrigerant is completely merged at the top of the radiator;
• Near the footboard there are 2 thin extra hoses. One has a plug, the other without. After unscrewing the plug, all remnants of antifreeze merge from the tank;
• Upon completion, all either twisted back, or a new antifreeze is poured.

Replacing Antifreeze Honda Civic 7

Principal differences when replacing the refrigerant, as well as in the order of action, is not observed. The only requirement of auto manufacturers is a serious and responsible approach to the choice of refrigerant. The following are recommendations for choosing a type of fluid to replace in the cooling system of the car Honda Civic.

Parameters for diesel and gasoline engines The same. When buying, it is necessary to navigate on the color and type of antifreeze, which is recommended by manufacturers for the year of Civic 7. The refrigerants also differ in service life.

Let's see visual example: for Honda Civic 7, 2000, regardless of the type of engine, you should select the carboxylate antifreeze class, type G12 (red). Approximately the service life will be 5 years old.
