Can a car still run without coolant?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to drive a car without coolant. The function of coolant is to dissipate heat for the engine. Without coolant, the engine and radiator lose their protection, which affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. The engine temperature will continue to rise without effective cooling, and the antifreeze cannot circulate properly. Continuing to drive under such conditions may cause severe engine damage in serious cases. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Coolant prevents the liquid from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when parked in cold weather. Coolant is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round.
