There is an additional charge for replacing coolant during a major maintenance service. Introduction to Coolant: The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a cooling liquid with antifreeze properties. Coolant prevents the freezing and expansion of the liquid in the cooling system during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Functions of Coolant: Coolant is used in the cooling systems of cars, train diesel locomotives, tractors, ships, engines, radiators, and various mechanical equipment, including diesel and gasoline engines. It serves multiple functions such as antifreeze, anti-boil, anti-corrosion, and anti-scaling. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas high-quality antifreeze coolant typically has a boiling point above 110 degrees Celsius, making it less likely to boil over than water during summer use.
