How much antifreeze should generally be added?
1 Answers
The recommended amount of antifreeze to add is approximately 4 liters, but this should be adjusted according to the actual condition of the vehicle. Insufficient antifreeze can cause the engine or radiator to freeze and crack, leading to engine failure. The antifreeze reservoir has water level markings, including a maximum and minimum level. It is advisable to fill the antifreeze to a level between the maximum and minimum marks. Adding too much antifreeze can cause overflow, and since antifreeze is somewhat corrosive, it may damage rubber components in the vehicle. Adding too little antifreeze may result in the engine or radiator freezing or even cracking in cold weather, and it will not provide sufficient cooling, which can also lead to engine failure.
