How Much Antifreeze Should Be Added to a Motorcycle Radiator?

[DelHarper]

The motorcycle radiator requires approximately 1.5 liters of antifreeze, which should be replaced every one to two years. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15℃, -25℃, -30℃, -40℃, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10℃ lower than the lowest temperature in your region. When adding antifreeze, it is essential to use the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between the additives, rendering them ineffective.
