Do Sedan Radiators Need Regular Water Refills?

[DelSophie]

If it's a new car with no signs of water seepage, dripping, or leakage, there's no need to add water for 2 years. After 2 years, visit a 4S shop to replace the antifreeze. However, it's essential to develop the habit of regularly checking the coolant level in the radiator. Precautions for Adding Water to Cars: Do not use ordinary water as a substitute for antifreeze. Avoid mixing antifreeze of different colors and specifications. When using antifreeze from different brands, try to completely drain the original antifreeze from the cooling system. The choice of coolant mainly depends on the local minimum temperature; generally, it's all-season type when leaving the factory. Difference Between Pure Water and Antifreeze: Adding water to a car radiator doesn't mean adding tap water or pure water, but car antifreeze. Of course, in particularly urgent situations where car antifreeze is unavailable, a small amount of pure water can be added, but only a little, otherwise, the consequences could be very serious.
