Mobil antifreezes: types, characteristics

Coolant is needed to remove excess heat from the engine and prevent premature failure. In summer, ordinary water can be used in this capacity. However, it cannot be used in winter. When water freezes, it expands, which increases pressure on the metal pipes of the cooling system, the radiator, and can lead to their rupture. In the cold season, it is necessary to use special antifreezes. These compounds are characterized by a low crystallization temperature and high safety for metal engine parts. Mobil antifreezes have long been one of the market leaders. Drivers appreciate these blends for their excellent performance and relatively attractive price.

A few words about the company

Mobil was founded in 1882 in the USA. Initially, the company was engaged only in the production and sale of hydrocarbons. Somewhat later, the enterprise also acquired its own capacities for oil refining. Now this concern is considered one of the leaders in the industry. The company produces motor and transmission oils, antifreezes and other variations of auto chemicals. The quality of the company's productsconfirmed by international certificates of conformity ISO and TSI.

Ruler

In Russia, you can buy only 5 types of Mobil antifreeze. The compositions are made using different technologies and differ in differentiated performance characteristics. That is why the motorist can choose the mixture that perfectly meets his needs.

Mobil Antifreeze

This Mobil antifreeze concentrate is 95% ethylene glycol. The remaining 5% of the composition is distilled water and various additives (corrosion inhibitors and antioxidant components). Before use, the composition must first be diluted with water. The final freezing point depends on the proportion of water and concentrate that the driver chooses. For example, if the proportion of water in the final mixture is 40%, then the composition will go into the solid phase at -52 degrees Celsius. With a proportion of water equal to 50%, the solution will harden at -36 degrees.

Mobil Antifreeze Extra

Mobil Extra Antifreeze also requires prior dilution with water. This composition is made using silicate technology. In this case, ethylene glycol is used as the basis. The use of silicon compounds as corrosion inhibitors makes it possible to provide reliable protection for cylinder blocks and a vehicle radiator. It is best to dilute the presented mixture with distilled water. Do not add ordinary tap water to the composition. The fact is that in Russia it is very tough. An excess of calcium and magnesium ions will adversely affectblend performance.

Mobil Antifreeze Advanced

This antifreeze from Mobil is made using carboxylate technology. The differences from the options presented above also lie in the fact that the manufacturer has added directional corrosion inhibitors to the presented mixture. These substances protect metals where destructive oxidative processes have already begun. The mixture does not contain phosphates, nitrites and other compounds that can increase the amount of deposits on the inner walls of a car radiator. This concentrate must be diluted before use. At the same time, it is compatible even with hard water.

Mobil Antifreeze Ultra

The presented antifreeze from Mobil combines the advantages of silicate and carboxylate production technologies. It creates a protective film that prevents the onset of corrosion processes, and specifically protects the metal elements of the cooling unit in those places where oxidation processes have already begun. The components of this mixture do not destroy the plastic and rubber elements of the cooling system. The mixture is suitable for all types of engines. At the same time, the service life exceeds 5 years.

Mobil Antifreeze Heavy Duty

This composition is designed to cool engines in large-capacity vehicles. The presented mixture has good protective properties, but a low drain interval. The fact is that the specified antifreeze from Mobil can only be used for 250 days.
