What is the appropriate level to fill the antifreeze to?
2 Answers
Antifreeze should be filled to the level between the upper mark (MAX) and the lower mark (MIN). During the use of the car, antifreeze will inevitably be consumed, so it is necessary to regularly check the antifreeze level. Open the engine hood and look for a symbol resembling a triangular thermometer, which indicates the antifreeze reservoir. The antifreeze reservoir has level markings, and the normal antifreeze level should be between the highest and lowest marks (MAX-MIN). Here is some related information about antifreeze: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze function. 2. Function: Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter, which could crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder head.
Antifreeze should be added to the coolant reservoir, which has two marked lines: Min is the minimum level, and Max is the maximum level. Filling it to the middle is most appropriate. I often check this while driving. Usually, with the engine cold, I open the hood to see the reservoir. Don't overfill it, as the expanding liquid when the engine heats up can overflow and corrode other parts. A while ago, I overfilled it, and it leaked everywhere, making cleanup a real hassle. Luckily, it didn't damage the engine. It's recommended to check every three months. If the level drops quickly, there might be a leak that needs immediate repair. Also, pay attention to the antifreeze model. Mixing different types can cause deterioration and failure. I always use the brand recommended by the manufacturer—it's both cost-effective and safe.
