How much antifreeze should be added in general?
1 Answers
Generally, about 5 to 6 liters of antifreeze is sufficient. The functions of antifreeze are: 1. Providing freeze protection for the engine; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or cylinder head when parking in cold winters; 3. Offering efficient heat dissipation; 4. Effectively preventing failures caused by boiling over and overheating during summer use. Antifreeze is classified into: 1. Ethanol-water type with a freezing point of -114°C and a boiling point of 78.3°C; 2. Glycerol-water type with a freezing point of -17°C and a boiling point of 290°C; 3. Ethylene glycol-water type with a freezing point of -11.5°C and a boiling point of 197.4°C.
