What is the model of Langdong antifreeze?

The model of Langdong antifreeze is LX-35 Green 1.5L. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter. Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference period. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle is shorter. Since the driving conditions of each vehicle are different, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze usage. If the antifreeze is insufficient, replenish it in time. If suspended matter, sediment, or deterioration/discoloration is found in the antifreeze, replace it promptly and clean the system. The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. The freezing points of antifreeze on the market include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your area. Antifreeze must be of the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze may have different production formulas. If mixed, chemical reactions between various additives may occur, rendering the additives ineffective.
For the Lantra model's antifreeze, I recommend using Hyundai genuine G12 blue antifreeze, which is specifically designed for Hyundai and suitable for most Lantra models. Antifreeze isn't just for winter protection; it also cools the engine and safeguards components during summer. Why choose this specific type? It contains special anti-corrosion additives. Using cheaper alternatives may corrode the radiator or water pump. I always remind owners to replace it every two years or as specified in the maintenance manual. Check the fluid level when the engine is completely cold, topping up between the min-max lines. Avoid mixing different colors or types, like blue and green, as they can clump. DIY replacement is straightforward: drain the old fluid and refill with new antifreeze mixed 1:1 with distilled water. Ensure you purchase genuine products from authorized channels—don't skimp on this small expense to avoid major repairs later. Additionally, after replacement, test-drive to monitor stable engine temperature, ensuring safe and worry-free driving in the long run.
