How Many Liters of Antifreeze Are Generally Needed?
1 Answers
Generally, antifreeze requires about 5-7 liters. The amount of antifreeze to be added varies for each vehicle. After adding antifreeze, you can check the scale on the auxiliary water tank. Typically, there are two marks on the auxiliary water tank: one for the maximum level and one for the minimum level. The antifreeze must be between these two marks—neither too much nor too little. Below is more detailed information: 1. The engine's antifreeze must have characteristics such as freeze protection, boil-over prevention, corrosion resistance, scale prevention, and no foam formation, and it should not be affected by seasons or regions. Among these, the freezing point and boiling point are the basic indicators of antifreeze. 2. The coolant is prepared by mixing antifreeze with water in a certain ratio. Automobile manufacturers usually specify the mixing ratio for different low-temperature antifreeze grades in the user manual and also designate the type of antifreeze, which should not be mixed. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking.
