What is the Normal Coolant Consumption?

[McSawyer]

Coolant consumption between ten to thirty-six percent is considered normal. If the engine is low on coolant, it should be replenished immediately to prevent poor heat dissipation. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Coolant prevents freezing and expansion damage to the radiator and engine cylinder block during cold weather when the vehicle is parked. It is not just for winter use but should be used year-round. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing freezing and expansion damage to the radiator and engine cylinder block during cold weather when parked; 2. Protecting metal components from corrosion and rubber parts from aging; 3. Reducing scale buildup to avoid clogging circulation pipes and impairing the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 4. Preventing the engine from overheating, ensuring it operates at the proper temperature; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump thermostat and other components.
