My Honest Review of Sputnik's Antifreeze for My Grant

It's time to replace the antifreeze in my Grant, and I'm sharing my real-world experience with Sputnik's G12 antifreeze.

I picked up some new cooling fluid and decided to get rid of the old stuff. Since there aren't many good reviews online for this antifreeze, I figured I'd write a review to set the record straight.

Let's take a closer look at the antifreeze we used. The product details are as follows:

Brand: Sputnik; Manufacturer: OOO "Promsynthesis" (Nizhny Novgorod Oblast); Container Type: canister; Cooling Fluid Type: antifreeze; Volume: 10 liters; Color: red; Freezing Point: -40°C; Model: G12.

When it comes to the container, cooling fluids usually come in canisters, and sometimes they're sold by the liter. The canister for the antifreeze we used is white with a red cap, and there's a label with all the necessary info.

I have to say, I like the logo "AL" in the circle in the top left corner of the label, along with the text around it: "100% protection for aluminum engines."

Antifreeze Sputnik G12, reviewsLet's take a closer look at the label.

✔ Description:

This low-freezing cooling fluid is designed for use in engine cooling systems for passenger and commercial vehicles, operating in temperatures from -40°C to 50°C.

It's non-aggressive to polymer materials and seals in the cooling system.

Don't mix it with other cooling fluids. It doesn't contain phosphates, nitrates, silicates, or amines.

It meets international standards: ASTM D 3306, SAE J 1034, and specifications from car manufacturers: AUDI, BMW, Opel, MTU, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Volkswagen.

The antifreeze contains a fluorescent dye, which helps identify leaks quickly.

Sputnik G12 Antifreeze ReviewI'd done my research on new antifreeze and knew that the G numbers refer to the quality and quantity of various additives. The higher the number and the more plus signs, the better.

We bought the G12+ antifreeze, but Sputnik's G12 didn't let us down either. It lasted over five years, and it still looked brand new.

The color didn't change, it didn't freeze - it worked like clockwork.

I'm giving Sputnik's antifreeze a thumbs up, and I'd definitely recommend it, especially for domestic cars. If you get a good coolant, why pay more?

This review's over now. Thanks for reading.

I've also recently had to replace the oil in my Lada Granta:

Lukoil Genesis 10W-40 Universal oil

NAC 8833 oil filter

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the performance of Sputnik's G12 antifreeze. It's a reliable and long-lasting product that meets all the necessary standards. If you're in the market for a new antifreeze, I'd definitely consider Sputnik's G12.

One thing to note is that the canister is quite compact and has a convenient handle, making it easy to carry and store. The label on the front of the canister is clear and easy to read, and the logo "AL" in the circle is a nice touch.

As for the pros and cons, I'd say that the pros of Sputnik's G12 antifreeze include its reliability, long-lasting performance, and meeting of international standards. The cons are minimal, but one thing to note is that the back of the canister has no labels.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend Sputnik's G12 antifreeze to anyone in the market for a new antifreeze.
