Is Antifreeze Needed in Summer?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is necessary in summer. Engine coolant serves multiple functions including freeze protection, boiling prevention, and corrosion resistance, unaffected by seasons or regions. The reasons are as follows: 1. It provides anti-corrosion protection for cooling system components. 2. It prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced radiator efficiency. 3. It ensures the engine operates within normal temperature ranges. When using antifreeze, pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Try to use the same brand of antifreeze. 2. Most antifreeze products have a two-year validity period; confirm the product is within its validity period when adding. 3. When replacing, completely drain the old fluid, clean the cooling system thoroughly, then add new fluid. 4. Avoid diluting with water.
