How Often Should You Add Coolant to Your Car?

[EmmanuelMarie]

Add coolant to your car approximately every two years or after driving around 40,000 kilometers. The correct steps for adding antifreeze are: Open the engine hood of the vehicle, locate the coolant reservoir in the upper right corner, open the antifreeze plug under the radiator, and directly add the antifreeze. Functions of antifreeze: 1. Provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Prevents scale buildup, avoiding reduced heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator; 3. Ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Regularly check the antifreeze level and replenish it promptly if it falls below the lower limit; 2. Observe whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediment, and replace it in time if there is turbidity; 3. Different car models use antifreeze of different colors, so do not mix them; 4. Before winter, measure the freezing point of the antifreeze to prevent it from freezing.
