Can You Still Drive with Low Coolant?
1 Answers
You cannot drive with low coolant. If you continue driving, the engine temperature will keep rising without the cooling effect of the coolant, which can cause engine damage. Therefore, you should replenish the coolant promptly. The primary function of coolant is to maintain the operating engine within a normal temperature range—cooling it down when the engine gets too hot. Additionally, engine coolant has anti-freeze, anti-corrosion, and anti-scale properties. The coolant reservoir is located on the right side of the engine. The vehicle's antifreeze should be replaced regularly to prevent adverse effects on many car components. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter stops, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant.
