Does a New Car Need Water Added?

[VonJustin]

A newly purchased car does not require water to be added. Regular passenger cars do not need water; instead, the radiator is filled with coolant, not water. Simply check if there is sufficient coolant in the radiator. If the coolant level is low, you can directly add coolant until it reaches the midpoint between the upper and lower level marks. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car include: 1. Maintain smooth starts, avoid sudden acceleration, and do not let the engine RPM get too high; 2. Ensure the coolant temperature reaches at least 50 degrees Celsius before starting, begin in a low gear, and shift to a higher gear after driving 1 kilometer; 3. Shift gears promptly while driving, avoid prolonged use of a single gear, and do not drive at low speeds in high gears or at high speeds in low gears; 4. Choose good road conditions to avoid excessive vibration and impact, and disengage the clutch before braking; 5. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear-resistant additives.
