Can I Replace the Antifreeze Myself?
1 Answers
Antifreeze can be replaced by yourself. The steps are as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve, and drain the antifreeze; 2. Clean the cooling system by continuously injecting clean water into the engine cooling system. During the flushing process, keep the engine idling to ensure the circulation of the clean water inside until clean water flows out from the radiator; 3. Stop adding clean water, wait for it to drain completely, and then close the drain valve; 4. Add new antifreeze until the liquid level is between the max and min marks; 5. Close the cap, start the car, and let the engine idle for two to three minutes. The cooling system will expel any trapped air, causing the antifreeze level to drop slightly. At this point, you should top up the antifreeze again.
