Should the Antifreeze Be Replaced or Topped Up?
1 Answers
It depends on the situation, as the antifreeze has a service life of approximately two years. If it has been more than two years, it is recommended to directly replace it with new antifreeze. If it has not yet reached two years, you can top it up appropriately. Below is relevant information about antifreeze: Composition: Antifreeze is mainly composed of ethylene glycol and water, meaning it is an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol with certain conductivity. Function: Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions when the vehicle is parked, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used all year round. Regardless of the color of the antifreeze, it should maintain a certain level of transparency. A cloudy product is not a good one.
