Does the coolant need to be replaced in summer?
1 Answers
Coolant needs to be replaced in summer. Coolant has the functions of preventing freezing in winter and preventing boiling in summer, as well as anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, protecting the engine's cooling system, improving heat dissipation, and enhancing engine efficiency. Therefore, coolant needs to be replaced in summer. Below are some considerations for selecting coolant: 1. Choose the freezing point based on the ambient temperature conditions of the vehicle: The grade of the coolant is its freezing point. Generally, the freezing point should be about 10°C lower than the lowest winter temperature in the local area. 2. Select coolant based on the vehicle's requirements: Imported vehicles and domestic high-end vehicles should use long-life coolant (suitable for all seasons), while ordinary vehicles can use short-life coolant, and softened water can be used in summer. 3. Choose coolant based on the number and concentration of vehicles: For organizations with a large and relatively concentrated number of vehicles, concentrated coolant can be selected. This type of coolant has stable performance and can be adjusted according to different environmental conditions and operational requirements to achieve both economy and practicality. 4. Functionality: Whenever possible, choose coolant with anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and descaling functions.
