How many years can car antifreeze generally last?
1 Answers
Car antifreeze can generally last for two years, while some long-life antifreeze can have a shelf life of up to 5 years. Antifreeze that exceeds its shelf life may deteriorate, produce impurities, and some of its internal chemical components may become ineffective, which can have a certain degree of impact on the cooling system or engine, making it unusable. The full name of car antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze function, which can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, with excellent properties such as antifreeze in winter, anti-boil in summer, and anti-scale and anti-corrosion all year round.
