Does BMW Antifreeze Need to Be Diluted with Water When in Use?
1 Answers
BMW antifreeze needs to be diluted with water when in use, as the original solution is a high-concentration ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, and its freezing point varies with the concentration of ethylene glycol in the aqueous solution. The steps for adding antifreeze are: 1. Open the filling port and drain valve; 2. Drain the old antifreeze completely; 3. Add new antifreeze; 4. Tighten the drain valve once new antifreeze starts flowing out. The functions of antifreeze are: 1. To prevent freezing in cold environments, which could cause the radiator to crack or the engine cylinder block or head to freeze; 2. To effectively prevent boiling in high-temperature conditions, avoiding overheating. Taking the 2021 BMW 320i Sport Package as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4719mm, width 1827mm, height 1459mm, with a wheelbase of 2851mm.
