It is normal for antifreeze levels to decrease in winter as antifreeze naturally depletes over time. However, excessive consumption is not normal, and car owners should promptly check the reason for the antifreeze reduction to avoid affecting the vehicle's normal operation. Below are some details about antifreeze: 1. If antifreeze levels drop significantly in winter, it may lead to freezing and cracking of the cooling system pipes. In summer, insufficient antifreeze can cause engine overheating, affecting its normal lifespan. 2. Antifreeze is a coolant with special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It provides excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, overheating in summer, and year-round protection against scale and corrosion.

What is the difference between Super White and Pearl White?

Super White is ordinary white paint, while Pearl White is mixed with pearl powder, equivalent to metallic paint, but with a higher cost. A white car body gives a bright, lively, and generous impression. White is also a neutral color, blending with the external environment to create a clean and simple feeling. White has better visual recognition, which can improve driving safety, and has advantages such as appearing less dirty than black. More details are as follows: 1. Classification of white car paint: Generally divided into Ordinary White, Ivory White, Pearl White, etc. The so-called Pearl White adds a layer of pearl paint between the color paint and the clear coat, with its main component being mica. 2. Mica: Mica is a dioctahedral calcium layered silicate mineral, often found in aluminum-rich deposits. It is recognized as a standard metamorphic rock-forming mineral in low to medium-grade metamorphic rocks. When mica pigments containing titanium dioxide and iron oxide are added to the paint base, light shining on the mica particles first reflects the color from the titanium dioxide and iron oxide, then the light undergoes refraction inside the mica particles.

How to Turn on the High Beam in a Car?
