How Often Should You Add Water to the Car Radiator?
1 Answers
Water should be added to the car radiator every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. The water referred to here is coolant, not tap water. If the coolant level in the reservoir drops below the minimum mark (the normal level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly. When purchasing coolant, choose the appropriate type based on the climate of the vehicle's location. Coolant prevents the freezing of the cooling liquid during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. It should be used year-round. Additionally, coolant helps protect engine performance, extend service life, and offers anti-freeze, anti-boil, and anti-scale functions. Especially when outdoor temperatures drop below zero, it ensures that vehicle components do not malfunction due to cold conditions.
