Can I Just Top Up the Coolant If My Car's Coolant Is Low?

[DiAubrey]

You can directly top up the coolant if your car's coolant is low, but there are some precautions to keep in mind: 1. When adding coolant, pay attention to the model and brand. Mixing different brands, models, or dosages can affect its performance. 2. When purchasing antifreeze coolant, pay attention to the freezing point of the coolant. Generally, the freezing point is around -45 degrees Celsius. It's best to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10 degrees lower than the lowest winter temperature in your area. 3. Be careful not to open the radiator immediately after turning off the engine. Since the cooling temperature is still high right after shutdown, there is high-pressure gas inside the radiator. Opening the radiator cap at this time can easily scald your hands or face.
