Is Antifreeze Needed in Summer?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is needed in summer. In addition to its antifreeze function, antifreeze also has many other functions. The first is the anti-corrosion function. The second is that antifreeze has a high boiling point. The third is that antifreeze can prevent scaling. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles that run for a long time, such as taxis, etc. Generally, high-quality antifreeze should be replaced once a year, while vehicles with shorter running times can be replaced every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foaming, which reduces the heat exchange performance between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure that the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-lasting antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended matter, sediment, or deterioration or discoloration is found in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned. Antifreeze composition: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances.
