How Much Coolant Should Be Added Each Time?
1 Answers
The standards for adding coolant are as follows: 1. The expansion tank in the engine compartment is marked with upper and lower limits for the coolant level. Visually observe the coolant level position; if it is between the upper and lower limits, it is at a normal level. 2. If the coolant level is found to be too low, it should be refilled as soon as possible. When refilling, ensure the coolant level is between the upper and lower limits of the expansion tank. Coolant consists of three components: water, antifreeze, and additives. Based on the antifreeze component, it can be classified into types such as alcohol-based, glycerol-based, and ethylene glycol-based coolants. Currently, most engines and commercially available coolants are of the ethylene glycol type. Compressor refrigerant is sometimes also referred to as coolant.
