Every car enthusiast sooner or later faces the need to replace the coolant (coolant). And a competent car enthusiast knows that the quality of the coolant is as important as the quality of the fuel or engine oil... After all, the reliability and durability of the engine depends on this. If you have not yet decided on the choice of coolant, I would like to bring to your attention Sintec antifreezes that meet all modern requirements.
Sintec antifreezes can be used in all types of transport and in all climatic conditions. These antifreezes are manufactured using all types of protective additives: silicate (inorganic additives), carboxylate (organic additives), hybrid (a combination of organic and inorganic additives) and lobrid.
I would like to note that Sintec antifreezes have recently become increasingly popular not only in the Russian and Ukrainian markets, but also in other CIS countries, as well as abroad. In many respects, this is due to the efforts of the engineers of the scientific and testing department of the Obninskorgsintez company, who are introducing the most advanced technologies. The company has certificates of conformity from such car manufacturers like MAN, Volvo, Volkswagen, Vaz and many others.
Variations
Let's try to understand all the variety of Sintec antifreezes that the automotive market presents.
Let's start our consideration with Sintec coolants containing silicate additives. According to the manufacturer, they do not contain nitrates and other substances that form carcinogenic substances during coolant operation. A balanced package of additives can significantly increase the minimum vehicle mileage up to 100 - 120 thousand kilometers. These are the following coolant Sintec:
- Universal;
- Euro;
- Ultra;
- Gold;
- Antifreeze coolant - 40
All these Sintec coolants have the same operating temperature range from minus 40 to 108 degrees Celsius, despite different colors their colors.
Let us dwell on some of them in more detail.
Sintec Euro antifreeze is a coolant last generation produced on the basis of monoethylene glycol and imported high quality corrosion inhibitors. It has green color... Recommended for use in domestic and imported cars and trucks in medium and heavy use.
Reliably protects the engine from overheating, ensuring a good temperature regime. Reliably protects metal parts of the cooling system from corrosion, and rubber parts from cracking. It prevents the formation air congestion and, due to its good lubricating properties, it significantly extends the life of the pump. Sintec Euro Antifreeze is a good choice for the cooling system of most modern car brands.
I can also recommend antifreeze Sintec red or Ultra. This Sintec antifreeze is the latest generation coolant for both passenger cars and trucks equipped with gasoline and diesel engines, and is red. Sintec antifreeze red will the best choice for high-performance engines, including those with a turbocharger and an intercooler. Does not contain nitrites and amines. Has high thermal stability.
There are several other interesting products in the Sintec line of coolants. These are Lux G12, Premium G12 + and Unlimited G12 ++.
Sintec Lux antifreeze is a carboxylate coolant that does not contain amines, nitrites and silicates. It is approved for use by many automotive concerns, including VAZ and KAMAZ. Has a good service life up to 250 thousand kilometers. 
Premium is an advanced carboxylate coolant with extended service life and excellent thermal performance, providing good heat transfer in a variety of operating conditions, including extreme ones. This antifreeze can be recommended for most cast iron and aluminum alloy motors.
Unlimited is the only lobrid coolant produced in the CIS. In terms of its properties, this coolant is similar to the "Premium", but differs from it with an unlimited service life.
Of course, the picture will not be complete if you do not consider the reviews of car owners who have experience in using Sintec antifreezes. 
Reviews
Positive reviews
“For fifteen years of driving experience, I have changed three cars, but Sintec started using antifreeze five years ago. I chose Sintec ultra for my Honda, and since then I have not used any other coolants. At each bay, I have a mileage of at least 100 thousand. If all the time, when using other liquids, I have a problem - foaming in expansion tank, now I don't see this. "
“I used to think that there was some kind of malfunction in the cooling system, but it turned out that it was not the high-quality antifreeze that was to blame. I advise you to buy Sintec and only the original. Beware of counterfeits. "
“I have already poured Sintec Euro into my car twice and have not seen any problems. Everything works perfectly. I live in Siberia, and when frosts come down to -35, I have a thin crust of ice in the expansion tank on the antifreeze, the engine starts up badly and works unstable. Now this problem is not even at -40. "
Negative reviews
“I bought a green Sintek and, in the end, I realized that it didn’t suit me. They promised almost 120 thousand runs, but only 50 passed, after which it turned out that I had evaporated. Inspection at the service station showed a leak in the rubber pipe. It looks like the liquid has corroded the rubber and leaked out overnight. Flushing the cooling system also showed a lot of dirt. ”
Returning to the issue of choosing and replacing antifreeze, I want to remind you that two or three flushing of the cooling system is mandatory to prevent possible troubles.
Video "Choosing a Coolant"
By looking at the record, you will find out what kind of coolant to fill in the car engine.
Modern universal carboxylate antifreezes are of high quality. They are quite in demand in the market of fuels and lubricants and coolants. One of these products is Sintec red g12 antifreeze from Obninskorgsintez, which is considered one of the leading manufacturers of auto chemical products in Russia.
Product description
For the production of sintec antifreeze lux g12 antifreeze, an innovative carboxylate technology is used, according to which special corrosion inhibitors obtained from organic acids are added to the base fluid of the coolant. Thanks to this component, antifreeze acts in a peculiar way. It does not form a protective film completely over the entire surface in the cooling system, but reacts exclusively in specific areas where corrosion has begun to form.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
Sintec lux g12 antifreeze has a rather long service life, which is 5 years or:
- for passenger cars- 250.000 km;
- for freight vehicles - 500,000 km.
The liquid has a high cooling rate, prevents overheating and freezing of the system, the formation of corrosion. When tested with sintec lux g12 antifreeze, the product showed excellent cleaning performance. It prevents deposits inside the ducts, in the radiator, water pump and compartment car engine harmful deposits.
The coolant from this manufacturer has a low freezing point and a high boiling point. It does not foam, therefore it does not contribute to the formation of air jams in the system. The coolant has a high degree of protection against cavitation. On the product packaging you can find the inscription LUX OEM, which indicates that the coolant is used on the conveyor of the car manufacturer for primary filling. Surplus products are sold through a retail chain of auto chemical goods stores.
Application area
Sintec premium g12 coolant can be poured into engine cooling systems of any car brands of Russian, American, European and Asian production. It is compatible with all major rubbers and polymers.
Antifreeze Sintec lux s12 is recommended for the first filling and further active use on passenger cars of the domestic manufacturer LADA. The product is compatible with other carboxylate coolants. It is forbidden to mix this product with liquids that contain natrates, nitrites, phosphates, silicates, amines and borates.
Technical and operational characteristics
The Sintec cooler is made on the basis of a water-glycol mixture, to which corrosion inhibitors are added using a special organic technology. The product does not contain silicates, nitrates, phosphates, borates and amines. The result is the purest coolant without unnecessary chemical components. This is what explains its high properties and long operating period.
Key performance indicators:
- crystallization temperature - minus 40 degrees;
- density - 1.073 g / cm 3 at 20 ° C;
- pH value - 8.4 pH;
- alkalinity - 4.6 cm³.
Different brands of Sintec antifreezes differ in color and standards. For example, red colored coolants meet the G12 standard. Their price is an order of magnitude higher than that of the G11 standard coolant.
Every car enthusiast knows that sooner or later his beloved vehicle will need a coolant replacement. In order for the iron friend to serve as long as possible, it is very important to choose correct antifreeze... The modern market provides just a huge selection of such a liquid. Therefore, sometimes it is very difficult to give preference to any manufacturer. In this article we will consider what Sintec antifreeze is, learn about its varieties, as well as the advantages and disadvantages.
and why is it needed?
Antifreeze is a special liquid that is poured into the engine cooling system of a car.
Its purpose is to remove excess heat, and this is very important so that the motor does not overheat during very active work. If you pour ordinary liquid into the cooling system, then it will very quickly heat up and evaporate, and, as you understand, there will be little sense from it. In addition, water freezes at subzero temperatures, so it will be simply impossible to start a car in such conditions. Antifreeze can be any type of liquid that will not freeze at low temperatures. environment... It is very important to choose good composition for your vehicle, because the duration of his life will depend on this.
Sintec antifreeze: description
The coolant of this company can be used for absolutely any vehicle, regardless of environmental conditions. Such antifreezes are manufactured in compliance with all kinds of protective additives, which makes the quality of this product very high. Manufacturers use not only inorganic and organic additives, but also lobrid additives.
Today Sintec antifreezes are very popular not only in the CIS countries, but also in other countries, and this suggests that the product is really very high quality and effective. The company that manufactures this product uses the latest production technologies, which is good news for car owners.
The main features of this coolant
Scientists have carried out a large number of studies to determine that Sintec antifreeze really has a very high quality, and most importantly, it meets all international requirements, namely:
- The liquid has an average viscosity, which is very important even when applied diesel types engines, while antifreeze has a very high level of thermal conductivity and heat capacity.
- Sintec (antifreeze) does not freeze even at extreme low temperatures, which is very important when operating a car in the northern regions of our planet. Also, very importantly, the liquid has a relatively high boiling point and a good evaporation rate.
- The composition of the drug is safe for all parts that make up the cooling system of a vehicle. The liquid will not affect rubber and other types of products. Also "Sintec" (antifreeze) will protect surfaces made of metal from corrosive processes.
Blue antifreeze
Blue color for Sintec antifreeze is universal. It is recommended to use it at a minimum ambient temperature of -40 degrees Celsius. Composition of blue color almost entirely consists of inorganic compounds, therefore it is recommended to use it only on cars of domestic brands.
For foreign cars, it can be strong enough. Please note that you need to change it no later than after two to three years, since after this time, its performance begins to deteriorate significantly. This antifreeze is sold under the name "Universal".
Sintec antifreeze green
This composition includes not only inorganic compounds, but also organic ones, and this suggests that given antifreeze already climbed a step higher. Such a mixture not only perfectly performs the function of cooling, but also protects the motor elements well from the occurrence of corrosive processes. Just like the blue liquid, green antifreeze need to be completely replaced every two to three years. Sintec Euro antifreeze is colored green.
Red liquid
The liquid, colored red, has an almost organic composition, which raises it one more step compared to antifreeze of a different color. Sintek red antifreeze has a large number of advantages, as it lasts much longer and does not crumble at the same time. At the same time, which is very important, the red liquid perfectly removes heat and prevents overheating even during very serious engine work.
Other types of coolant
"Lux G12" is an orange-red colored liquid. You will not see a large number of inorganic components in it, since the composition mainly includes organic compounds. Such a tool is popular in that it is able to protect the car engine from the occurrence of corrosive processes, and also does not affect the elements made of rubber. At the same time, the service life of "Lux" antifreeze is about 25 thousand kilometers, with which few other antifreezes can be compared.
Liquid "Premium G12 +" has a raspberry color and is made on the basis of carboxylate technology. The product has excellent heat dissipation, and also protects only potentially dangerous places from corrosive processes. At the same time, the tool can be used under absolutely any environmental conditions, which makes it stand out among many others.
The main advantages of Sintec antifreeze fluid
All Sintec antifreezes discussed above do not contain harmful ingredients such as phosphates and nitrates, which allows them to be combined with any other silicate-based products. So, let us consider the main advantages of Sintec antifreeze liquid, allowing us to make sure that this product is really very high quality and irreplaceable.
The first thing I want to pay attention to is the operational life. The liquid will be able to withstand about 250 thousand kilometers, which indicates its very good quality.
Sintec Euro antifreeze green and others have very wide ranges of operating temperatures. Therefore, you can use the liquid under any environmental conditions.
Also, very importantly, the product will protect the engine of your vehicle from corrosion, which will significantly extend its service life.
The producers of Sintec antifreeze make sure that the quality of their products is at the highest level. Therefore, if you see any product of this brand on store shelves, you do not have to worry, it has passed a large number of studies and tests, therefore it meets all international quality requirements.
Well, and, of course, the tool has an affordable price, which cannot but please consumers.
Are there any disadvantages?
Despite the fact that Sintec brand antifreezes are of very high quality, they must be used carefully. The tool has good characteristics throughout the entire period of its operation, do not forget to change it on time, otherwise the motor will fail very quickly.
Experts still do not recommend mixing Sintec G12 antifreeze with other silicate types of coolants, since red antifreeze contains a large amount of very sensitive additives to chemicals.
What do consumers think?
Sintec (antifreeze), reviews of which we will now consider, is very popular with car owners. Many of them noted that the tool really does an excellent job of its purpose. According to consumers, the car travels more than one hundred thousand kilometers after the liquid has been poured into the cooling system, while such a process as foaming in the tank is no longer observed. Also, which is very important, the car will start even at the lowest temperatures. The car will start very quickly even at -40 degrees Celsius. In this case, an ice crust does not appear in the tank.
Very often, car owners pour Sintec liquid into their iron friend. Antifreeze, reviews of which are mostly positive, pleases motorists with its quality and affordable price... There are no harmful additives in the composition, so the product is quite safe.
However, some consumers also left negative reviews. In some cases, drivers were unable to travel more than one hundred thousand kilometers by car, as promised by the manufacturer. But very often such situations arise in cases where the cooling system already has a malfunction.
conclusions
No car can survive for long without antifreeze. Therefore, take care of the "health" of your iron friend. Correctly selected coolant will save you a lot of problems. Sintec antifreeze has all the necessary qualities, therefore, using it, you will forget how difficult it is to start the car in frost, and also that you need to frequently change the antifreeze. Sintec is an excellent solution for every motorist. Take care of your iron friend, and he will repay you in kind.
If you are the owner of a vehicle, then sooner or later you will be presented with a choice of fluid for the cooling system. This fluid is an essential component for normal work engine. Therefore, today we will tell you why Sintec antifreeze is so popular among motorists, and we will also bring to your attention the reviews of other drivers about it.
If antifreeze is made using good equipment, and high-quality components are taken as its basis, then in your car never:
- the engine will not boil;
- the coolant will not foam;
- no sludge is formed in the cooling system;
- corrosion will not kill system elements.

Basic information about Sintec antifreeze
Recently, Sintec refrigerants have become more and more popular not only in the Russian car market, but also in the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Kazakh markets, and even in foreign countries. One can talk about the quality of antifreezes for a very long time, but it is worth noting that the engineers of the Obninskorgsintez company, which manufactures this antifreeze, have been improving the manufacturing technology for many years. Now the company has its own research and development department, which is engaged in the implementation of new technologies.
The company itself assures consumers that its products meet all international requirements and standards. For this, certificates of conformity and the availability of approvals in use from the manufacturers of Volkswagen, Man, Volvo, Vaz and many others are also provided. It is also worth noting that the company's refrigerants have been recognized by many automotive publications as the best. But to find out whether the vaunted products are really so good, only reviews of car owners who have used these antifreezes will help.
Sintec coolants, which can be used in any vehicle and under any climatic conditions, are available in all types:
- silicate;
- hybrid;
- carboxylate;
- lobrids.
Sintek options
As you already understood, Sintec refrigerants can be found in the store in different variations. How do they differ from each other and which one is better? We will talk about this further.
Sintec refrigerant is offered to the consumer in several types:
- "Universal" (blue);
- "Euro" (green);
- "Ultra" (red);
- "Gold" (yellow);
- "Antifreeze OZh-40" (blue color);
According to the data from the official manufacturer, these silicate refrigerants do not contain nitrates and other substances that, when chemical reactions form a carcinogen. That is, the company's coolants are theoretically compatible with all high-quality refrigerants.
Automotive manufacturers require antifreeze manufacturers to ensure that their products provide vehicle the minimum mileage is 30 thousand kilometers. But Sintec antifreezes have a balanced package of additives that can increase the life of the coolant from 100 to 120 thousand km.
As for the operating temperature range, for all of the above five types of refrigerants, it is from -40 to 108 degrees Celsius. As you can see, Sintec antifreezes have different colors, but the same service life and operating temperature range. But the manufacturing company has several other types of refrigerants sold that are worth highlighting separately:
- "Lux" G12 (red-orange color);
- "Premium" G12 + (crimson color);
- Unlimited G12 ++ (purple);
"Lux" is a carboxylate coolant (coolant), which does not contain silicates, nitrites and amines. These refrigerants have been approved by domestic carmakers "VAZ", "KAMAZ" and many others and are able to protect the car's cooling system from corrosion. The service life of this fluid is 250 thousand kilometers. It is also compatible with the main types of rubber cooling system components.
"Premium" is an advanced carboxylate refrigerant with an increased service life, which differs from other antifreeze by its high heat transfer coefficient. This is achieved as a result of the fact that the coolant does not cover the surface of the system parts with a layer of protection, but only creates a thin film in places where corrosion can occur. In addition, according to the manufacturer, this refrigerant can provide excellent system protection in extreme climatic conditions.
Also, "Premium" does not contain additives that can create sediment in the system pipes. Antifreeze is recommended for most types of cast iron and aluminum motors, and its service life is about 250 thousand kilometers. In terms of performance, the refrigerant is significantly superior to traditional antifreezes.
"Unlimited" - this refrigerant is lobrid and the only one produced on the territory of the post-Soviet space. As in the case of the "Premium", the coolant creates the thinnest protective film in those places cooling system where corrosion can occur. The main difference of this type of refrigerant is its unlimited service life.
Carboxylate antifreeze is manufactured according to the latest technology organic additives. Antifreeze is a water-glycol solution with organic corrosion inhibitors, free of nitrites, nitrates, amines, phosphates, borates and silicates.
LUX antifreeze is designed for everyone modern engines exposed to high stress, especially aluminum. Provides excellent protection for the cooling system against freezing, corrosion and overheating, effectively protects against the formation of deposits in the cooling passages, in the engine compartment, in the radiator and in the water pump.
Service life - up to 250 thousand kilometers or 5 years for passenger cars, up to 500 thousand kilometers for trucks and buses (up to 10,000 hours) and 25 thousand hours for stationary engines. Suitable for all types of engines. Applicable for European, Asian, American and Russian production requiring the use of silicate- and phosphate-free antifreezes. Free of nitrites, amines, phosphates and silicates (NAPS-free).
Since 2011, SINTEC LUX G12 antifreeze has been used by the largest Russian automaker AVTOVAZ as the first filling on LADA cars, and is also recommended for use during their operation and maintenance.
Has admissions and approvals from OJSC AVTOVAZ, VOLKSWAGEN, MAN, OJSC KAMAZ, OJSC Tutaevsky Motor Plant, OJSC AVTODIZEL (Yaroslavl Motor Plant), FUZO KAMAZ Trucks Rus, OJSC Minsk Motor Plant, GAZ Group.
