Does a sedan need water added to its radiator?
1 Answers
Sedans do require water, but here 'water' refers to coolant/antifreeze. Precautions for adding coolant: 1. No substitution: Ordinary water cannot replace antifreeze. 2. Color: Do not mix antifreeze of different colors and specifications. 3. Brand: When using antifreeze from different brands, try to completely drain the original coolant from the cooling system. 4. Longevity: Regardless of high or low temperatures, antifreeze should be used considering cooling system efficiency and longevity. There's no theory that antifreeze is unnecessary in southern winters due to mild temperatures. 5. Stability: Neither new nor old vehicles should have tap water added casually. Tap water boils easily and contains many substances that readily form rust and scale. Antifreeze can lower temperatures, regulate heat, and resists deterioration and chemical reactions.
