How Many Liters of Antifreeze Should Be Added to a Sedan?
1 Answers
It is appropriate to add about 4 liters of antifreeze to a sedan. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Can antifreeze be mixed? It is necessary to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas. If mixed, the additives may react chemically, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles that run for long periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should generally be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter running times, replacement can be done every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foaming, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-lasting antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, replace it promptly and clean the system.
