Antifreeze, fully known as antifreeze coolant, refers to a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze comes in various specifications, such as 1.5 liters, 2 liters, 4 liters, 6 liters, 10 liters, 18 liters, 200 liters, etc. The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze is available with freezing points of -15℃, -25℃, -30℃, -40℃, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10℃ lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to Determine if Antifreeze is Low Check the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high engine temperatures. Inspect the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the fluid level markings on the antifreeze bottle. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the antifreeze is below the minimum mark, it indicates a deficiency.
