Where is the Correct Position for Antifreeze?

Open the hood and look for a symbol resembling a triangular thermometer; that is the antifreeze reservoir. Generally, there are water level markings on the antifreeze reservoir. Antifreeze Replacement Cycle: For vehicles that run for long periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should generally be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter running times, it can be replaced every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foam formation, which can reduce the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned. How to Determine if Antifreeze is Low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high temperatures inside the cylinder. Check the antifreeze tank. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level markings on the antifreeze reservoir. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if antifreeze is low, check the markings. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.
