It is not necessary to change from water cooling to oil cooling for cars, and the reasons are as follows: Currently, there are three main types of coolant used in cars: ethylene glycol antifreeze, waterless antifreeze, and cooling oil. The vast majority of cars use ethylene glycol antifreeze because it is cost-effective and performs well, making it widely adopted. If you switch to oil cooling, the first issue is the higher cost, and for ordinary cars, it is unnecessary. Unless there are specific cooling requirements, there is no need to make the change.

Below is relevant information: Disadvantages: The initial design purpose of auto start-stop technology was to save fuel. When the auto start-stop function is activated, the engine enters a "dormant" state during brief stops, the pulley stops rotating, and the system minimizes engine idling.

Why does a diesel engine always overheat and boil?

The following are the reasons why a diesel engine always overheats and boils: 1. Insufficient coolant: Regularly check the coolant level in the radiator and expansion tank, and replenish it promptly if the level is low. If the diesel engine cooling system lacks coolant, it will affect the heat dissipation efficiency, leading to engine overheating. 2. Loose or faulty fan belt: Tighten or replace the fan belt; if the cooling fan is faulty, the motor and circuit need to be inspected and repaired. 3. Radiator leakage: Broken or improperly connected radiator hoses can cause leaks, which will obstruct water circulation and, in severe cases, cause the engine to 'boil.'
