How Often Should Engine Coolant Be Topped Up?
2 Answers
It is recommended to replace it every two years. You can monitor the warning alerts for coolant top-up and check if the fluid level in the coolant reservoir has dropped significantly. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition: A car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, acting as the heart of the car, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. 2. Maintenance: Car engines require regular maintenance. When driving through areas that are particularly humid or dusty, it is also necessary to inspect and maintain the relevant components of the engine.
After driving for so many years, my most intuitive observation is that coolant doesn't require frequent top-ups like engine oil. Basically, I just pop the hood every three months to glance at the reservoir's level marks - as long as the cold fluid stays between MIN and MAX when the engine's cold, there's nothing to worry about. Under normal usage, a complete replacement every two years is sufficient, but older cars or those frequently driven long distances may consume it faster. Last month I noticed the level was half a finger-width low, so I bought a bottle of the same blue coolant and added 200ml. The key is developing regular inspection habits, especially during summer when AC systems operate under high load - cooling system pressure increases and fluid level drops become more noticeable than usual.
