What is the normal position of coolant in the radiator?

Coolant is at a normal level when it is between the max and min marks in the radiator, which can be checked at the coolant filler reservoir. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 2 years, with a replacement volume of 4 to 5 liters. After replacement, the cooling system should be bled. Open the hood and look for a symbol resembling a triangular thermometer—this indicates the coolant reservoir. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a type of cooling liquid containing special additives. The main component of most antifreeze is ethylene glycol, as it has a high boiling point and low freezing point, ensuring the car operates normally in cold climates without freezing and also helps cool the engine at high temperatures. It is an essential automotive product.
