Can You Drive with Low Engine Coolant?
1 Answers
Low engine coolant in a car depends on the situation: 1. If it is below the minimum level but there is still some remaining in the reservoir, you can still drive; 2. If it is so low that the reservoir is nearly empty, you should not drive. Continuing to drive in this condition will cause the engine temperature to rise rapidly, and without the cooling effect of the coolant, it can lead to engine damage. The primary function of engine coolant is to maintain the operating engine within a normal temperature range, cooling it down when it gets too hot. Additionally, engine coolant also has anti-freeze, anti-corrosion, and anti-scale properties. Regularly check the car's cooling system and the remaining engine coolant level. If you find the engine coolant is insufficient, replenish it promptly.
