Can You Still Drive with Low Coolant?
1 Answers
You should not drive with low coolant. Here are the reasons why driving with low coolant is not advisable: 1. The function of coolant is to dissipate heat from the engine. Without sufficient coolant, the engine and radiator lack protection, which affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. The engine temperature will continue to rise without effective cooling, and the normal circulation of antifreeze will be disrupted. Continuing to drive under these conditions can lead to severe engine damage. 2. If the coolant level in the expansion tank is extremely low, it is best to avoid driving. At this point, the engine coolant is insufficient to meet the normal cooling requirements. If you insist on driving, the engine temperature will rise rapidly, increasing the risk of severe engine damage such as piston seizure or engine explosion.
