Do You Need to Add Water to Your Car?

[JackDella]

You do not need to add water to your car, but your car does require antifreeze. The engine used in cars is a water-cooled engine, which relies on the continuous circulation of antifreeze within the engine to dissipate heat. Without antifreeze, the engine can overheat, which may affect its normal operation. The full name of antifreeze should be "antifreeze coolant," meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round.
