How Long Can You Drive After Adding Coolant?
1 Answers
You should not continue driving after adding coolant. A coolant warning indicates that the car's coolant is insufficient, or the radiator temperature may be too high. It is best not to continue driving at this point. If you keep driving, the engine temperature may rise further, potentially causing engine damage. Coolant prevents corrosion and scaling: Coolant does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system and also has anti-corrosion and anti-rust functions. High-quality coolant is made with distilled water and contains anti-scaling additives, which not only prevent scaling but also help remove existing scale. Coolant prevents boiling: The boiling point of water is 100°C, while high-quality coolant typically has a boiling point of around 110°C. This helps prevent boiling during summer use.
