Does a newly purchased car need antifreeze?

[StLiam]

A newly purchased car does not require additional antifreeze. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant. Precautions for adding antifreeze: 1. Do not open the cap to add antifreeze when the engine is hot; 2. Drain the existing antifreeze completely, clean the cooling system internally, and then add new antifreeze; 3. Do not mix different types of antifreeze. The main functions of antifreeze are: 1. In winter when temperatures are low, it prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block and cylinder head; 2. In summer when temperatures are high, it effectively prevents boiling and avoids overheating. Hazards of not replacing expired antifreeze: 1. It causes the water in the antifreeze to evaporate, altering the freezing point and reducing the antifreeze's effectiveness; 2. It fails to provide anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and rust-removal functions for the engine, affecting the engine's lifespan; 3. It increases viscosity, reducing cooling efficiency.
