Are Antifreeze and the Radiator the Same Thing?
1 Answers
The car radiator and antifreeze are in the same tank. Functions of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. How to Determine if Antifreeze is Low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; promptly add antifreeze. Inspect the water level markings on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Whether antifreeze is low depends on these markings. If the antifreeze is below the minimum level, it indicates a deficiency.
