What Causes Antifreeze to Enter the Engine Block?
1 Answers
Antifreeze can enter the engine block due to the following reasons: Cracks: The engine block develops cracks under high temperatures. Service Life: Prolonged vehicle usage leads to natural aging, resulting in cracks. Aging: The engine and radiator gaskets or rubber seals deteriorate and fail, causing leaks. Human Error: Mistaking antifreeze for engine oil and adding it to the engine due to personal oversight. Below is a relevant introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator and damage the engine block or cylinder head.
