Is It Normal for Antifreeze to Drop in Winter?
1 Answers
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.
