What Three Types of Fluids Should a Car Be Filled With?

[DiPaul]

Automobiles require the addition of windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze. Below are detailed introductions to windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze: Windshield Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid is the cleaning solution for a car's windshield. It primarily consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. When purchasing, it's important to pay attention to the temperature range for use. Brake Fluid: Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid. The working pressure in the braking system is generally 10MPa, and during emergency braking, the internal pressure can be even higher. Antifreeze: Antifreeze is composed of water, antifreeze agents, and additives, serving as a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise lead to radiator cracking due to expansion or damage to the engine cylinder block or head from freezing.
