Does a newly purchased car need water added to the radiator?
1 Answers
The radiator does not need water added all year if there are no leaks, but it should be checked regularly. Here is some relevant information: 1. However, when a new car reaches a certain mileage, generally every two years or 40,000 kilometers, the coolant should be replaced. If the antifreeze coolant level is found to be below the minimum (the normal capacity of antifreeze coolant should be between MIN and MAX), it is necessary to promptly replenish the coolant for the new car. It is important to emphasize again that the "water" mentioned here refers to antifreeze coolant. 2. Whether it's a new car or an old one, it is not advisable to add tap water casually. Tap water contains many substances that can easily cause rust and scale buildup. Antifreeze coolant, on the other hand, can lower temperatures, regulate heat, and is less prone to deterioration and chemical reactions.
