Where to Add Antifreeze?
1 Answers
Antifreeze should be added to the antifreeze reservoir under the hood. The common method is: open the filling port and then open the drain valve, then add antifreeze. Once new antifreeze starts flowing out of the drain valve, tighten it. Start the engine when the antifreeze reservoir reaches the marked level, and the antifreeze level will gradually drop. Keep adding until it stabilizes. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many people think antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used all year round.
