What Happens When a Vehicle's Radiator Runs Out of Water?

[HarrisonLee]

Running out of water in the vehicle's radiator can cause the engine to overheat, damaging its internal components, and in severe cases, may even lead to engine failure. The car engine must be adequately cooled in high-temperature working conditions to maintain an optimal operating temperature, ensuring good performance, durability, and meeting exhaust emission requirements. The water in the car radiator should generally be replaced every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. For vehicles with high usage frequency, it should be replaced earlier as needed. If the antifreeze coolant level is found to be below the minimum mark before the scheduled replacement period, it should be replenished promptly.
