When buying, you need to know the shade - Color and A type antifreeze approved for your Patriot's year of manufacture. Select the manufacturer of your choice. Do not forget - each type of fluid has its own lifespan.
For instance: for UAZ Patriot (1st generation) 2013, with a gasoline or diesel engine type, suitable - lobrid class of antifreeze, type G12 ++ with shades of red. The approximate next replacement period of which will be 7 years. If possible, check the selected fluid against the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and service intervals. It's important to know Each type of liquid has its own color. There are rare cases when a type is tinted with a different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from purple to light pink (for green and yellow same principles).
Mix liquid from different manufacturers - can if their types match the blending conditions. G11 can be mixed with G11 analogues G11 must not be mixed with G12 G11 can be mixed with G12+ G11 can be mixed with G12++ G11 can be mixed G13 G12 can be mixed with G12 analogues G12 must not be mixed with G11 G12 can be mixed with G12+ G12 must not be mixed with G12++ G12 must not be mixed with G13 G12+, G12++ and G13 can be mixed together It is not allowed to mix Antifreeze with Antifreeze. No way! Antifreeze and Antifreeze - very different in quality. Antifreeze is the trade name for the traditional type (TL) of an old-style coolant. At the end of the service life - the liquid completely discolors or becomes very dull. Before replacing one type of fluid with another, flush the car radiator with plain water.

According to the requirements of the factory operating instructions, in the cooling system of UAZ vehicles, coolant brands OZH-40 and OZH-65 Lena, TOSOL A-40M, TOSOL A-65M, or OZH-40 and OZH-65 TOSOL-TS .

Of course, it is necessary to follow the requirements of the manufacturer, however, in modern realities, when the choice of various antifreezes and antifreezes on the shelves of stores is large enough, if you wish, you can always choose a more technologically advanced and perfect coolant for your car's cooling system.

Specialized stores sell ready-to-use coolants with the names Tosol and Antifreeze. All of them, with very rare exceptions, are suitable for use in UAZ vehicles. Despite the different names, Antifreeze is usually the same Tosol, only with a few better ones. operational characteristics. They will be discussed in more detail below.

Coolant replacement interval in the cooling system of UAZ vehicles, reuse of antifreeze or antifreeze drained from the system.

According to the data service book For 2015, the manufacturer recommends a complete coolant change every 60,000 kilometers or 4 years, whichever comes first. In fact, the replacement interval should be calculated taking into account the operational properties of the flooded antifreeze or antifreeze. In the case of vehicle operation in difficult conditions, it is recommended to reduce the interval for replacing the coolant in the cooling system of UAZ vehicles. TO difficult conditions the factory refers:

- towing,
- for the most part, short trips of 4-5 kilometers or trips over long distances at low speed,
- continuous operation major cities,
- continuous operation in areas where the air temperature often goes beyond the range from minus 15 to plus 30 degrees Celsius,
- frequent operation on dirty and dusty roads, as well as roads on which chemicals are used to process the canvas.

In addition, the need to replace the coolant occurs if:

- Its service life has reached or exceeded the terms specified by the manufacturer.
- There were leaks or coolant, after which water or a liquid from another manufacturer was added to the cooling system.
- When the color or shade of the coolant changes, which are the first signs of a loss of performance of additives.
- If other liquids enter the coolant, for example from the engine lubrication system.

When repairing an engine or cooling system, when the coolant is drained, its reuse is allowed if a clean funnel and container were used for draining and storing. It is advisable to filter the coolant before reuse.

Antifreeze - types and composition.

The term "Antifreeze" (Antifreeze) originated abroad. It was used to refer to a concentrate that was added to water in a car's engine cooling system. However, this term then took into account only the cold-protective role of this product, assuming that its use is a seasonal need.

Now the name Antifreeze implies not only the cold-protective properties of the product, but also reflects its function as a heat exchange medium designed to protect the engine cooling system from corrosion and damage all year round in all operating conditions.

Automotive antifreezes usually consist of ethylene glycol, less often - propylene glycol, which, unlike ethylene glycol, is not toxic, but is much more expensive, water and additives. Ethylene glycol is poisonous and can enter the human body through the skin. Most dangerous if drunk.

The ethylene glycol solution is quite aggressive to the materials of parts - steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, brass, solder. Therefore, a complex of additives is added to antifreeze, giving it anti-corrosion, anti-cavitation and anti-foam properties. Ethylene glycol, in addition to lowering the freezing point, leads to an increase in the boiling point of the coolant, which is an additional advantage when operating vehicles in the warm season.

Dyes are also added to antifreezes, giving them one color or another, which has nothing to do with its performance properties. Color is mainly needed to distinguish one fluid from another, to determine the level of coolant in the expansion tank, and also to distinguish coolant leaks from leaks of other operating fluids.

Currently, antifreezes are conventionally divided into four types according to the composition of functional additives: carboxylate (OAT), hybrid (Hybrid), lobrid (Lobrid) and traditional (Traditional). Carboxylate antifreezes G-12, G-12+ contain corrosion inhibitors based on organic (carboxylic) acids and have the longest service life - more than 5 years.

Hybrid antifreezes G-11 contain, in addition to organic (carboxylate) inhibitors, also inorganic inhibitors - silicates, nitrites or phosphates. Service life 3-5 years. Lobrid antifreeze G-12++, G-13 - relatively the new kind coolant in which an organic base is combined with a small amount of mineral inhibitors.

Traditional antifreezes contain inorganic substances as corrosion inhibitors - silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites, amines, nitrates and their combinations. Antifreezes of this type are already considered obsolete due to the short service life of about 2 years and the inability to withstand high, more than 105 degrees, temperatures for a long time. Antifreeze and its numerous modifications just belong to the traditional type of antifreeze.

antifreeze standards.

There are no uniform standards for antifreezes, but there are the most recognized ones. For example, American - ASTM D 3306, D 4340, D 4985 and SAE J1034, English - BS 6580, B55117, Japanese - JIS K 2234, French - AFNOR NF R 15-601, and German - FVV HEFT R 443.

As in the case with engine oils, some car manufacturers may indicate their tolerances for antifreeze. For example, for Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW it is TL 774D (G12), F (G12+), for Mercedes-Benz it is 325.3, for Renault and Ford it is WSS-M97B44-D.

Antifreeze - types and composition.

TOSOL is the name of an automotive coolant developed in 1971 for VAZ cars to replace the Italian PARAFLU by specialists from GosNIIOKhTA - the State Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology. The first three letters of the abbreviation TOSOL indicate the department of organic synthesis technology, and the letters OL are added to make a word similar to the name of alcohols - ethanol, butanol, methanol. According to another version, "OL" is an abbreviation for the Separate Laboratory that developed antifreeze.

The TOSOL trademark has not been registered, so it is widely used by all coolant manufacturers. The operational properties of these fluids can be different and depend on their composition. Antifreeze, like antifreeze, is a solution of ethylene glycol, water and various additives.

TOSOL A-40M consists of 44% water and 56% ethylene glycol, and provides a boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure - at least 108 degrees. It is recommended to use it in areas with an ambient temperature of at least minus 40 degrees. TOSOL A-65M consists of 35% water and 65% ethylene glycol, and boils, at normal atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of at least 110 degrees. It is recommended to use it in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas.

Outwardly, the standard TOSOL A-40M is most often a blue liquid, and TOSOL A-65M is red. A change in the color of antifreeze during operation signals the loss of it. operational properties. In particular, the development of corrosion inhibitors, and the need for replacement. For example, blue TOSOL A-40M, as it ages, first becomes blue-green, then green, then yellow, and may completely discolor.

The rate of aging and discoloration of antifreeze depends on operating temperature coolant. In particular, when the engine is running with constant overheating, of the order of 100-105 degrees and above, the antifreeze may turn yellow and lose its qualities after several hundred hours of engine operation.

Aged antifreeze, due to the development of additives, can cause the formation of a thick layer of scale in the system. This can lead to deformation of parts, local and excessive thermal expansion, corrosion of aluminum blocks and cylinder heads.

Compatibility of coolants, is it possible to mix antifreeze and antifreeze.

During the operation of the vehicle, the fluid level in the cooling system may become low due to water evaporation or leaks. In the first case, you need to add distilled water, and if not, then filtered and boiled water. In the second - antifreeze or antifreeze of the same brand.

Antifreeze and antifreeze produced by different manufacturers according to the same specifications can be mixed. However, if the specification numbers are not the same, then it is better not to do this. The components of additive complexes can react with each other and lose their useful properties. In extreme cases, with large losses of coolant, it is best to add water to the cooling system, and then, as soon as possible, completely replace all the liquid in the cooling system.

Each car is equipped with a cooling system, thanks to which the engine is protected from overheating. A malfunction of the cooling system or the absence of coolant in the car entails the most unpleasant consequences, so it is important to know how much fluid needs to be poured onto the UAZ Patriot SUV, as well as how it is drained and replaced. We will consider these and many other questions in this article.

Previously, cars in the cooling system used ordinary water or distilled water. Unfortunately, the use of ordinary water leads to unpleasant consequences, in particular, its freezing in the system causes serious damage. A coolant called antifreeze or antifreeze is poured into the UAZ Patriot SUV, as indicated in the manual for vehicle. It is antifreeze and antifreeze that are those liquid substances, which include many different substances that ensure non-freezing at sub-zero temperatures, and at the same time stable heat removal from the car engine to the radiator.

The radiator, in turn, is a container that cools the incoming liquid with an air stream. Thus, the coolant circulates through the system, thereby removing heat from the engine and protecting it from overheating. If the engine overheats, it will jam, so on all cars, including SUVs, there is a temperature gauge in the cabin on the instrument panel. When the temperature rises above 100 degrees Celsius, you should immediately stop and find the cause of this phenomenon.

Replacement features

Probably, more than once every driver wondered how often it is necessary to change the coolant? Just like all fluids in a car, antifreeze and antifreeze must be replaced, as over time they lose their original properties and can malfunction. On an SUV, it is recommended to change the coolant every 60,000 km. Such a replacement is recommended in order to avoid channel clogging, so let's consider what this process is.

Before proceeding with the replacement, it is necessary to purchase coolant for an SUV. There are a lot of types of coolant and which product to give preference to is the right of everyone. But, of course, it is not recommended to purchase the most budget options, since they are likely to contain cheap types of dilutions. How much antifreeze is needed for an UAZ Patriot SUV? The amount of coolant in the UAZ Patriot system is 12 liters, but when replacing it is not always possible to completely drain all the liquid. Therefore, it is better to purchase a 10-liter canister, and then buy another liter or two, if necessary. Often, drivers encounter a problem when replacing antifreeze leads to the fact that only 5 liters fit into the system. In fact, during the filling of the coolant, air pockets are created that limit the complete filling of the system. Therefore, we will consider how the coolant is replaced correctly and what you need to know.

Replacement

Replacing antifreeze on a Patriot is not particularly difficult, but it is important to follow the sequence. Of the replacement tools, you only need a wrench for "14". The replacement process is as follows:

The cooling system is filled year-round with a mixture of water and antifreeze with an anti-corrosion additive from the VW / SEAT concern. This mixture prevents freezing and corrosion of the cooling system, the deposition of salts and, in addition, increases the boiling point of the coolant. In the circulation circuit, as a result of the expansion of the liquid during heating, an increased pressure is created, which also contributes to an increase in the boiling point of the coolant. Pressure limited located in the cover expansion tank valve opening at a pressure of 1.4 - 1.6 bar. The engine cooling system requires a high boiling point for the coolant to function properly. If the evaporating temperature is too low, vapor locks can form, which impairs engine cooling. Therefore, the cooling system must be filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze all year round.

You must use G12 Plus antifreeze (purple, exact designation G 012 A8F) or another concentrate marked “according to VW / SEAT-TL-VW-774-F”, for example, Glysantin-Alu-Protect-Premium / G30.

If the cooling system is filled with a mixture containing antifreeze G12 (red, exact designation G 012 A8D), you can also use red G12 antifreeze or another concentrate marked "according to VW/ AUDI-TL-VW-" to replenish the coolant level. 774-D", e.g. Glysantin-Alu-Protect/G30. Note: G12 purple can be mixed with G12 red.

Attention: Do not mix red G12 antifreeze or more old antifreeze G11 is green because it can cause very severe engine damage. coolant Brown(the result of mixing G12 and G11 antifreezes) replace immediately.

Note: If a liquid with an incorrect specification of antifreeze is accidentally found in the cooling system, the system must be flushed. To do this, all liquid from the cooling system must be completely drained and the system filled with clean water. Let the engine run for two minutes Idling. Drain the water again and blow through the system from the side of the expansion tank compressed air to free it completely. Wrap the cork drain hole and fill the cooling system with a mixture of water and G12-Plus antifreeze.

Attention: To replenish the cooling system (also in the warm season] only use a mixture of G12-Plus (lilac) with soft clean water. The proportion of antifreeze should not be lower than 40% even in summer. Therefore, when replenishing the cooling system antifreeze should always be added with water.

In our latitudes, the coolant should provide protection against freezing down to -25 ° C, and even better - up to -35 ° C. The proportion of antifreeze must not exceed 60% (antifreeze protection of the coolant down to -40°C), otherwise the antifreeze protection and cooling effect of the liquid will be reduced. Note: Depending on the equipment of the vehicle, the amount of coolant to be filled in may differ slightly from the values ​​indicated in the table.
