How to Deal with Excessive Vehicle Coolant?
1 Answers
Vehicle coolant overfill can be addressed by slightly loosening the radiator cap to allow steam to escape. Once the radiator pressure decreases, replenish with cool water or antifreeze as needed. If the coolant temperature gauge on the dashboard indicates excessively high temperatures or the coolant level warning light flashes, it signifies that the coolant temperature has exceeded the specified limit or the coolant level is insufficient. In such cases, immediately stop the vehicle for inspection. To prevent overheating, regularly clean the vehicle's cooling system and check the coolant level in the radiator. When adding coolant, it's important to note that different brands of coolant should not be mixed. Since the compositions of coolants vary by brand, mixing them may cause chemical reactions, potentially affecting cooling performance.
