How long does it usually take for the coolant level to drop in a new car?

Relatively speaking, when driving on the highway, the engine speed remains at a higher level, and the pressure provided by the water pump will also be slightly greater. If there is a significant drop in coolant level after highway driving, it is possible. Here is some relevant information: 1. Issues with the radiator cap or the connecting pipes between the main and auxiliary radiators: After highway driving, when the water temperature rises and coolant flows into the auxiliary radiator, if the radiator cap or related pipes are not sealed properly or due to other reasons, the coolant in the auxiliary radiator may not return to the main radiator when the engine cools down, resulting in a loss of coolant. Check the related pipes or radiator cap. 2. Leakage in the coolant circulation system: The leak may be in a hidden location. Pay attention to checking the side of the engine near the firewall, the lower part, and the heater core.
