How often should the coolant in a Sagitar be replaced?
1 Answers
The coolant in a Sagitar can be replaced every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. For vehicles that run for extended periods, such as taxis, it is generally recommended to replace high-quality coolant annually. To prevent excessive foaming, which can reduce the heat exchange efficiency between the coolant and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life coolant can remain effective for up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the coolant, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are its freezing point and boiling point. Available coolant specifications in the market include freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to determine if coolant is low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low coolant levels, though it could also be triggered by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add coolant promptly. Inspect the water level markings on the coolant tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a deficiency.
