What is the standard amount of car antifreeze to add?
1 Answers
Generally, the antifreeze reservoir will have a max (maximum) water level mark and a min (minimum) water level mark. The car antifreeze should be added to a level between the max and min marks. For most family cars, replacing the antifreeze requires 4-6 liters, depending on the vehicle. Methods to determine if antifreeze is insufficient: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to insufficient antifreeze, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperature. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level marks on the antifreeze reservoir. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. Whether the antifreeze is insufficient depends on the marks. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates insufficient antifreeze.
