Is It Normal for Antifreeze to Decrease in Winter?
1 Answers
Antifreeze will gradually decrease with the mileage of the car in winter, which is a normal phenomenon. Like engine oil, it also needs to be replenished regularly. If the antifreeze is consumed quickly, the reasons may include the following four aspects: 1. Unreasonable design of the cooling system; 2. Leakage: Generally, traces can be seen at the leakage point; 3. Poor circulation leading to rapid consumption: It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect it. Note that when adding coolant, it should be done after the engine temperature has cooled down. During the process, start the engine and gently press the accelerator to expel air from the system. Add the coolant slowly, and if necessary, follow the instructions to vent the cooling system; 4. Coolant entering the cylinder and being burned or entering the oil pan.
