Does an Automatic Transmission Car Need Water in Its Radiator?

[VonEmery]

An automatic transmission car does not need water in its radiator. Here are some additional details: 1. The role of the car radiator: If the radiator doesn't leak, it may not need water for the entire year, but regular checks are necessary. New cars usually don't require additional coolant in the radiator, and if needed, only radiator fluid or antifreeze should be added. The car radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, thus regulating temperature. 2. The radiator: The radiator should not come into contact with any acid, alkali, or other corrosive substances. It is recommended to use soft water; hard water should be softened before use to prevent internal clogging and scale buildup in the radiator. When using antifreeze, to prevent corrosion of the radiator, always use long-lasting rust-proof antifreeze produced by reputable manufacturers and compliant with national standards.
