AGA (anti-freeze): characteristics. Coolant choice

The normal operation of the car engine depends on coolant to maintain the optimum temperature. In addition, it protects the engine from coking, the appearance of carbon deposits and excessive wear. Antifreeze AGA — one of the most common and popular coolants.

Description antifreeze

The Production of coolant AGA is a Russian company «AGA TD", which specializiruetsya in the production of automotive chemicals: antifreeze, motor oils and other consumables. The company's products are in demand not only in Russia but also in countries near and far abroad.

Antifreeze AGA have high cooling properties, which are stored in a temperature range from -42 to +132 degrees. Effectively protect engine against freezing and overheating, prevent corrosion of the cooling system, while protecting all kinds of metal, including aluminium. Protect the engine from premature wear, have good anti-cavitation agent and antifoaming properties.

The Owners say in the reviews that antifreeze AGA does not require frequent replacement, and long performance additives: change it every 5 years or every 150 thousand kilometers.

Specifications coolant

The AGA Coolants used in trucks and passenger vehicles equipped with diesel or petrol engines. Its effectiveness compounds do not lose when filling the cooling system, both domestic and foreign cars. The engines can be uprated and turbocharged.

The AGA Coolants have the following advantages:

• The Operational life of the fluid is 5 years or 150 thousand kilometers, respectively, do not require frequent replacement of consumables.
• Ensure long working life of the pump seals.
• Protects against corrosion and cavitation processes metal parts.
• Typical anti-friction and anti-foam properties.
• Have a long-life additives and high thermal stability.
• Comply with international quality standards.

The AGA Antifreeze can be mixed with other coolants made with ethylene glycol. The composition is allowed to dilute the softened or distilled water to 10 %, but no more. Especially the influence on the properties of coolant is not provided. However, the reduction temperature range. Many antifreeze AGA includes a fluorescing dye, visible under ultraviolet light. This allows time to detect leakage of coolant.

Different modifications produced antifreeze AGA price, shade, a range of additives and some other properties and characteristics.

Composition, color and characteristics of fluids

All the antifreeze of the brand AGA are made based on high quality ethylene glycol with the addition of various additives package — cleansing, anti-corrosion and anti-wear.

Depending on the specific modifications and changing the color of the liquid — for example, can be green antifreeze AGA, red or yellow. Despite the common perception among the people the opinion that from the color of the coolant depends on the quality, tint, consumables anywhere not regulated, has no effect and is completely dependent on the wishes of the manufacturer. Add in the antifreeze dye allows you to quickly find the location of leaks. For the same purpose in AGA Z42 adds a fluorescent dye.

A common international classification for fluids do not exist. Russian producers often use adopted by Volkswagen standards, according to which antifreeze brand AGA belong to the category of G12.

Scope

Coolants brand AGA applied to engines of trucks and passenger cars with diesel and petrol fuel systems. Specialists often recommend to use oils for turbocharged and high-powered engines, especially those experiencing regular load intense acceleration or high speed.

Meets requirements of many foreign and domestic automakers — Porsche, Audi, BMW, AVTOVAZ and others.

The Manufacturer claims that the red antifreeze AGA can be mixed with coolants of other brands on the basis of ethylene glycol. However, to mix the compositions of the different technologies and brands is undesirable as it can adversely affect their performance.

Antifreeze AGA Z40

The Coolant used on cars and trucks domestic and foreign production diesel and petrol engines. Most effective antifreeze has when used on boosted engines. The service life of the coolant according to the manufacturer, have 5 years or 150 thousand kilometers. Antifreeze protects the metal parts of the fuel system and engine against cavitation and corrosion processes.

Mix the coolant with the cooling liquids or any otherantifreeze can, provided that they are made on the basis of ethylene glycol. AGA can be diluted with distilled or softened water, but its volume should not exceed 10 % of the total volume of the liquid.

Antifreeze AGA Z40 has the following characteristics:

• Long working resource additives and high thermal stability.
• Does Not lose its properties over a wide temperature range — from -40 to +123 degrees.
• High level of heat capacity.
• Eliminates local areas of overheating due to the wetting properties.
• Good contact with the surface of metal parts is provided by deep penetration of antifreeze in the structure elements, which ensures the effective cooling of the engine.

Tool AGA Z42

The Coolant AGA Z42 most effective when used on turbocharged engines operating at high load, for example, under heavy acceleration or high speeds.

Regular use of coolant prevents cavitation and corrosion processes, ensures reliable operation of the seals and pump. You can mix antifreeze with other brands, provided that they are made on the basis of ethylene glycol.

Advantages of antifreeze AGA Z42

• Long working life of the additive package.
• High thermal stability.
• Preservation of characteristics and properties in a wide temperature range from -42 to +123 degrees.
• Protection of metal parts from cavitation processes in heavy traffic and vibration of high frequency.
• Includes anti-foaming, anti-corrosion, anti-oxidation and anti-friction additives.
• Fluorescent dye, glow in the UV light and make finding leaks antifreeze.

The Coolant AGA Z42 has a green color.

Antifreeze AGA Z65 persons

Universal coolant that can be used for engines of various vehicles, including those equipped with intercooler, turbo and uprated engines. Effective for vehicles operated in winter conditions with a lack of air flow.

The Manufacturer gives a guarantee for 5 years of operation of the antifreeze without the need for replacement. Mix AGA Z65 persons with other cooling liquids or coolants acceptable provided that their composition is ethylene glycol. Upon dilution of the composition softened or distilled water it does not lose its properties. However, the total volume of water should not exceed 10 %. This antifreeze AGA yellow.

Included in the coolant additive provides the following properties:

• The Ability to use temperature range of -65 to +132 degrees.
• High level of heat capacity.
• Anti-foam, anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion and anti-friction features.
• Protect the rubber components from premature wear.

In the antifreeze composition includes a fluorescent dye that glows under ultraviolet light, allowing you to quickly identify the areas of coolant leakage.

Advantages of liquid AGA

Among the advantages of the products is to provide:

• Long service life.
• Wide working temperature range.
• A Large number of effective additives included in the composition.
• Protection of engine parts against corrosion, cavitation and formation of foam.
• The structure includes a fluorescent dye, to facilitate detection of leaks of antifreeze.

Disadvantages of coolant:

• Rapid sedimentation.

How to recognize fake

In the choice of antifreeze is necessary to pay attention to the following points:

• Verify the integrity of the canisters.
• Color covers, labels and most of the liquid should be the same. Canister in most of the cases is executed from transparent plastic.
• Specified on the label information should include: address of the factory where it was manufactured antifreeze, part number, batch number and date of bottling, the liquid composition, basic properties and characteristics, a telephone number to contact the manufacturer.

It's important to find a quality certificate, which should be available from the seller.

Reviews on antifreeze

The Owners leave a large number of both positive and negative reviews on antifreeze AGA. The first is often celebrated affordable price — about 600 rubles per 5 liters of antifreeze resistance to the effects of low temperature and effective cooling of the engine even under high loads.

The negative views of motorists note the sediment that makes me wonder as antifreeze. In addition, the packaging listed the recommendations of automobile manufacturers.
