Antifreeze should be added. Precautions for adding antifreeze to a car: 1. No substitution: Do not use ordinary water as a substitute for antifreeze. 2. Color: Do not mix antifreeze of different colors and specifications. 3. Brand: When using antifreeze of different brands, try to drain the original antifreeze in the cooling system completely. 4. Lifespan: Regardless of whether the temperature is high or low, antifreeze should be used for the efficiency and lifespan of the cooling system. There is no theory that antifreeze is unnecessary in the south because winters are not cold. 5. Resistance to deterioration: Whether it's a new or old car, it is not recommended to add tap water casually. Tap water is prone to boiling and contains many substances that can easily cause rust and scale. Antifreeze can lower the temperature, control the temperature, and is less likely to deteriorate or undergo chemical reactions.

What is the difference between car wax and car shampoo?

The difference between car wax and car shampoo: 1. Car wax is used for maintaining different parts such as the paint surface, glass, and tires; car shampoo is used to remove surface dust from the car. 2. Using car wax will not scratch the car paint, and the mirror-like gloss will not be damaged; using car shampoo may cause scratches on the car paint due to the use of high-pressure water guns. Car wax has strong decontamination, rust prevention, polishing, and protective functions, which can quickly remove dust, mud, asphalt, paint, and other stubborn stains on the car surface, and can prevent oxidation of the car body, effectively avoiding the re-deposition of dirt. The main cleaning component of car shampoo is natural plant-extracted surfactants, and it is divided into alkaline car shampoo, acidic car shampoo, and neutral car shampoo according to its composition.
