What antifreeze to fill in Hyundai Creta 1.6 and 2.0
Content
The topic of choosing antifreeze for Hyundai Creta 1,6 and 2,0 liters is the most relevant, both in summer and in winter. The fact is that the coolant in winter is a coolant, and the heat in the cabin depends on its quality and quantity, and in the summer antifreeze removes heat from the engine, preventing it from overheating.
What antifreeze is poured into Hyundai Creta 2017, 2018 and 2019 from the factory?
When it is necessary to add antifreeze to the cooling system, and the car owner does not know what was filled in, he doubts: is this coolant suitable for my car?
The fact is that it is not recommended to mix coolants from different manufacturers and different colors, since these liquids may have different compositions and when mixed, the composition may be disturbed.
Of course, when it comes to a breakdown and an urgent need to add antifreeze, it is better to add any coolant than to overheat the engine. Of course, after arriving at the repair site, you will have to completely replace all the fluid in the cooling system. But the engine does not overheat.
So, in order to understand what kind of antifreeze is poured into Hyundai Creta from the factory, you can contact any dealer and clarify the information of interest. But, unfortunately, dealers are not always ready to provide this information.
The second way to find out which factory antifreeze is filled in Hyundai Creta is to study the car's instruction manual. We already wrote about this book in one of our articles and even posted a link to download it. Come in and check out the site. In the book we find a page with recommended filling volumes and lubricants. The following table should remain:
But, unfortunately, the classification only says: "MIX antifreeze with water (ethylene glycol-based coolant for aluminum radiators)". And without explanation. Since Hyundai Creta is assembled in Russia, it is simply unprofitable for the carrier to import antifreeze from abroad.
And it turns out that the best option is to simply use some local antifreeze. I would venture to suggest that Shell antifreeze is poured into the conveyor, since the plant has an agreement for the supply of lubricants from the Shell plant in Torzhok.
Most dealers also use Shell antifreeze for maintenance and repairs.
If you look at the expansion tank, you can easily recognize the color of Shell factory antifreeze. It's green, as you can see.
If the factory and dealers fill in green Shell antifreeze, this greatly narrows the search circle. Therefore, we can narrow down the search to one option: SHELL Super Protection antifreeze.
However, everything would be simple, but there is unconfirmed information that Hyundai Long Life Coolant antifreeze is supplied to Hyundai and KIA assembly lines. It is the only antifreeze in the world approved by Hyundai Motor Corp. Information about him will be below, so scroll down.
Antifreeze for Hyundai Creta 2.0
In fact, antifreeze for Hyundai Crete 2.0 and for 1,6 liters is no different. The design of the car uses the same aluminum blocks and aluminum radiators. Therefore, there is no difference in antifreeze. The same antifreeze is poured into both modifications. That is, green coolant based on ethylene glycol.
The total volume of the Hyundai Creta 2.0 cooling system is 5,7 liters.
Antifreeze for Hyundai Creta 1.6
The 1,6L Hyundai Creta uses exactly the same coolant as the 2,0 engine. For cars with a manual transmission, 5,7 liters of antifreeze is poured, and for cars with an automatic transmission - 5,5 liters. In any case, 6 liters of coolant will be enough to fully fill Creta CO in any modification.
But back to our car. Antifreeze for Hyundai Creta 1.6 must be green and based on ethylene glycol.
Original antifreeze for Hyundai Creta
Naturally, original antifreeze is also sold for Hyundai Creta. You can find him with the following items:
- HYUNDAI/KIA green concentrated antifreeze 4L - 07100-00400.
- HYUNDAI/KIA Green concentrated antifreeze 2L - 07100-00200.
- Coolant LLC "Crown A-110" green 1l R9000-AC001H (for Hyundai).
- Coolant LLC "Crown A-110" green 1l R9000-AC001K (for KIA).
The first two antifreezes with part numbers 07100-00400 and 07100-00200 are completely Korean coolants for Hyundai Kreta. Boats look like this:
Please note that this liquid is a concentrate and must be diluted with distilled water. The dilution ratios should be chosen according to the desired crystallization and the boiling point of the finished liquid.
The next two antifreezes, Crown LLC A-110, are ready-to-use green coolants that are equally suitable for topping up and pouring into the Hyundai Creta cooling system with a volume of 1,6 and 2,0 liters.
R9000-AC001H - designed for Hyundai cars, R9000-AC001K - for KIA cars. Although there is no difference in the composition of liquids. Feel free to mix them up.
What is the color of antifreeze in Hyundai Creta?
Asking the question “What color is the antifreeze in Hyundai Creta?”, You can do this in two ways: look under the expansion tank cap or seek help from specialized forums.
In any case, somewhere you will find information that the Hyundai Creta is filled with green antifreeze from the factory. However, if you are buying a non-show car, double check the information. With the same success, the previous owner could replace the antifreeze with red or pink.
Antifreeze level Hyundai Creta
The level of antifreeze in the Hyundai Creta can be controlled by the vehicle's expansion tank. The coolant level should be checked on a cold engine.
The coolant level must be between the L (low) and F (full) marks. These are the maximum and minimum risks. If the antifreeze drops below the "Low" mark, then you need to add coolant and find the cause of the leak.
If you filled in the coolant above the “Full” mark, then the excess antifreeze must be pumped out of the tank. Ideally, the Hyundai Creta antifreeze level should be approximately halfway between the L and F marks.
