What Causes a Car to Consume Antifreeze?

[VanFinley]

The reasons for a car consuming antifreeze are: 1. Under continuous high temperatures, the antifreeze evaporates; 2. Damage to the radiator gasket or loosening of the overflow tank, water pump joint surfaces, and pipe connections in the cooling system, leading to antifreeze leakage. The method for replacing antifreeze is: 1. Open the vehicle's engine hood and locate the antifreeze reservoir; 2. Open the antifreeze plug under the radiator to drain the old antifreeze; 3. Add new antifreeze and tighten the cap. The main functions of antifreeze are: 1. In winter when temperatures are low, it prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head; 2. In summer when temperatures are high, it effectively prevents boiling, avoiding overheating.
