Can You Drive with Low Coolant Temperature?

[MacVincent]

You can drive with low coolant temperature, but it may cause severe damage to the engine. An engine operating at too low a temperature can lead to poor lubrication and severe cylinder wear. Additionally, engines in low-temperature conditions consume significantly more fuel. Below are the main functions of antifreeze: 1. Provides anti-corrosion protection for cooling system components; 2. Prevents scale buildup and reduces radiator temperature; 3. Ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Additional information: The replacement interval for antifreeze should follow the manufacturer's manual, typically every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Some car manufacturers offer antifreeze that supports lifetime use without replacement, requiring only periodic inspections.
