What happens if the engine coolant is insufficient?

[OIsabela]

Insufficient engine coolant can lead to an increase in water temperature. If the coolant is severely lacking, it may cause engine cylinder sticking, damaging the engine. Below is relevant information about automotive coolant: 1. Concept: Coolant, fully known as antifreeze coolant, as the name suggests, can both prevent freezing and provide cooling. 2. Function: Coolant has the functions of antifreeze, cooling, corrosion prevention, and scale prevention. Although coolant also contains water, this water is soft water, which is distilled water that has undergone deionization and softening treatment. If the engine coolant is insufficient, soft water can be added, but attention should be paid to the amount added; excessive addition should be avoided as it may alter the boiling and freezing points of the coolant. However, hard water such as tap water should not be added, as it can cause adverse effects.
