Should Antifreeze Be Added to Cars in Summer?

[DeCaroline]

Antifreeze should be added to cars in summer as it is not just for winter use but should be utilized year-round. The components of automotive antifreeze include: 1. Calcium chloride from inorganic compounds; 2. Methanol from organic compounds; 3. Ethanol; 4. Ethylene glycol; 5. Glycerol; 6. Lubricating oil; 7. Pure soft water. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block. The functions of antifreeze include: 1. Providing freeze protection for the engine against low-temperature environments; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and expanding the radiator during cold winter parking, which could damage the engine cylinder block and cylinder head; 3. Offering efficient heat dissipation.
