How many liters of antifreeze should be added to the Epica?
1 Answers
The Epica requires 4 liters of antifreeze. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block or head. Generally, vehicle antifreeze should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement interval should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze level regularly and top it up if it is low. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and flush the system. The key indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Available antifreeze products in the market have freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Always use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands may have varying formulations, and mixing them could cause chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.
