What to Do When Coolant Level Is Too Low?

[StCecilia]

If the car's antifreeze is insufficient or the level is too low, it should be replenished promptly. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Precautions for coolant are as follows: 1. Coolant should not be mixed: Different types of coolant should not be mixed to avoid chemical reactions, sedimentation, or bubble formation, which can damage rubber seals, leading to leaks at the water pump seal and welds, and in severe cases, engine damage. However, universal coolants can to some extent solve such issues. 2. Avoid contact with antifreeze: Antifreeze and its additives are toxic substances. Do not touch them with your hands. After use, store them in a safe place. Unused coolant should not be reused, and waste coolant should be disposed of strictly according to relevant regulations to prevent chemical reactions. 3. Necessary checks before refilling: Before adding coolant, conduct a thorough inspection of the engine cooling system. If there are any leaks, repair them promptly before adding coolant.
