What to Do If Coolant Is Mixed?
1 Answers
If coolant is mixed, it is best to replace the original coolant. You need to completely drain the coolant from the radiator, flush it thoroughly with purified water, and then refill it with new coolant. You can go to a repair shop for inspection to see if there is any damage and take timely measures to prevent further issues. The replacement cycle for coolant is 2 years or 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Long-term failure to replace the coolant can lead to a decline in its quality, reducing its anti-corrosion properties and causing damage to the radiator and pipes. The functions of coolant are: 1. To provide antifreeze protection for the engine and combat low-temperature environments; 2. To prevent the cooling liquid from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block and cylinder head during cold winter parking.
