Will the coolant decrease over time?

Coolant will gradually decrease over time. Its full name is antifreeze coolant, which is composed of water, antifreeze agents, and additives. Based on the different antifreeze agent components, it can be categorized into alcohol-based, glycerol-based, and ethylene glycol-based types. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold weather parking; 2. Preventing corrosion of metal components and aging of rubber parts; 3. Reducing the formation of scale to avoid clogging the circulation pipes and affecting the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 4. Preventing the engine water temperature from becoming too high, ensuring the engine operates at the proper working temperature; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump thermostat and other components.
