What cooling fluid to pour in the Niva Chevrolet: What are poured from the plant?

Promitted car owners watch their car worked without failures. All systems must be normal: nutrition, ignition, cooling and lubrication. In the process of work from the motor, a large amount of heat is distinguished. So that it does not overheat, it is necessary to maintain the recommended temperature. This function performs a special cooling fluid (coolant).

To the selection of coolant it is worth a suitable.

Immediately decide on the choice is not so easy. Today, stores offer a large selection of canisters and bottles of various colors and composition. I am brewing the question of pouring - antifreeze or antifreeze? What does the manufacturer recommend?

Types and properties of cooling liquids for a car

The best option for effective decrease in temperature is antifreeze. This is a liquid that includes:

• distilled water;
• ethylene glycol or propylene glycol (less aggressive substance);
• additional additives.

Additives in turn are divided into the following subspecies:

• silicate;
• based on organic acids (carboxylate);
• hybrid antifreeze (based on two described above).

Carboxylate Coats have good heat transfer and high cooling temperature. Fat sediments are reliably and have a longer service life. Silicate antifreezes perfectly prevent corrosion appearance and reduce the temperature of aqueous solutions. Considered universal.

Depending on the additives used, high-quality coolant should have a high boiling point and thermal conductivity. Also, do not be frozen in the winter season, keeping your work indicators. Do not form scale and foam.

Generally, for the machine are suitable for antifreeze type G12 and Tosol.

Many car owners mistakenly argue that Tosol is a cheap and less qualitative version of antifreeze.

Modern technologies manufacturing Tosola allow competing not only with a domestic, but also a foreign manufacturer of coolant. The only significant difference is the longer life of the toosol, in comparison with antifreeze.

Antifreeze G12.

In Chevrolet, the Niva replacement of cozy is done standard - once every 2 years, or every 60 thousand km of mileage. Another factor indicating the need to change the coolant is the change in its color. It acquires a reddish shade, which indicates a change in chemical properties.

Tosol TS-40.

On air conditioning machines it is better to pour antifreeze G12.. Usually tosol TS-40 is flooded by plant (Manufacturer - Dzerzhinsk). Mixing different types of coolant is prohibited. The exception for the topping is the liquid FelixProlonger (the same manufacturer).
