How many liters of antifreeze should be added?
1 Answers
Each vehicle's antifreeze reservoir has markings, and the fluid should be filled to the midpoint between the maximum and minimum marks. Generally, 5 to 6 liters are added, but this should be done in two stages. After the engine has cooled down, open the engine compartment and check if the coolant level is sufficient. The antifreeze reservoir has MAX and MIN markings indicating the upper and lower limits. When the engine is cold, if the fluid level is below the MIN mark, add more antifreeze according to the markings on the reservoir, ensuring it stays between the MAX and MIN levels. Additional relevant details are as follows: 1. The first addition is done when the vehicle is stationary. While adding, gently squeeze the rubber hose until the fluid level reaches the midpoint between LOW and HIGH. 2. The second addition is done after driving the vehicle for a short distance. Observe whether the antifreeze level has dropped. If it has, wait for the engine to cool down after parking and add more antifreeze until it reaches the level from the first addition. Overfilling antifreeze can cause overflow, while insufficient antifreeze can lead to poor engine cooling and potential engine damage.
