What Causes Rapid Antifreeze Consumption?
1 Answers
Antifreeze consumption is rapid due to: 1. Possible antifreeze leakage; 2. Poor circulation leading to fast consumption; 3. Coolant entering the cylinders and being burned or leaking into the oil pan. It is recommended to regularly inspect all seals and their connections, tighten where necessary, and avoid reusing leak-proof gaskets or tape. This can help prevent rapid antifreeze consumption and effectively avoid issues like oil line leaks or transmission oil leakage. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold winter parking. Its full name is antifreeze coolant, and while many believe it is only used in winter, antifreeze should be used year-round.
