How to Add Antifreeze to a 4.2-meter Truck?
1 Answers
For this type of truck, the radiator is located behind the left front wheel. If you need to replace or add antifreeze, you will need to lift the cab. The radiator is part of the cooling system, where the engine relies on the continuous circulation of coolant to dissipate heat. Below are the precautions for adding antifreeze: 1. Brand Selection: Try to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed. 2. Expiration Date: Most antifreeze products have a validity period of two years (some products may last longer). When adding antifreeze, ensure the product is within its expiration date. When replacing, drain the old fluid completely, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add the new fluid. 3. Do Not Dilute with Water: Avoid diluting antifreeze with water. Traditional inorganic antifreeze should not be diluted with water, as it can cause sedimentation, severely affecting the antifreeze's normal function. Organic antifreeze can be diluted with water, but excessive dilution should be avoided.
