Is it serious if the antifreeze level is below min?

It is serious if the antifreeze level is below min, and antifreeze should be added promptly. In winter, it is essential to check the antifreeze level regularly. Simply open the hood to inspect the antifreeze reservoir, which is marked with max and min indicators, showing that the antifreeze level should be between these two marks. Insufficient antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat, leading to engine damage. If the antifreeze level is found to be below min, start the engine and let it idle for 2 to 3 minutes, then unscrew the radiator cap. At this point, as some air is expelled from the cooling system, the antifreeze level will drop further. Additional antifreeze should then be added until the level reaches the max mark.
