How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Changing the Car Antifreeze?

[TeaganRose]

Car antifreeze should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in the radiator during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. It offers excellent performance in winter antifreeze, summer anti-boil, year-round anti-scale, and anti-corrosion. New coolant should be added when the engine is cold. Fill the coolant up to the MAX mark in the reservoir, tighten the cap, and start the engine. Let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, then turn it off. Once the engine temperature drops, check the coolant level in the reservoir to ensure it remains at the MAX mark. If not, continue to top it up.
