There is a layer of oil on the antifreeze, if it is a small amount, then the problem is not big; but if there is a lot of oil, it may be that the gasket of the oil radiator is damaged or aging, causing the water pipe and the oil passage to communicate, and the oil and antifreeze Mixed together.

The sludge-like thing coming out of the water tank is usually a situation where engine oil and antifreeze are mixed together and then reacted under the action of high temperature.

In general, the best working temperature of the engine is 80-90℃, and if the antifreeze does not work, the engine temperature is too high, which will result in a decrease in cylinder charge and abnormal combustion, which will further increase fuel consumption. And the situation like the above-mentioned "things like sludge coming out of the water tank" indicates that the antifreeze has failed, and the working temperature of the engine will be abnormal, which will cause a series of problems, so it is necessary to deal with it in time to avoid changes. Major problems occur, reducing maintenance costs.

When using antifreeze, it is best not to add tap water or use inferior antifreeze, both of which are likely to cause rust in the water tank, which is also not conducive to the operation of the engine.

Also, do not mix antifreezes of different models and brands, because different antifreezes have different chemical compositions. After mixing, they may react and cause the antifreeze to fail. It also cannot protect the engine. It can only be renewed. Replace with a new antifreeze, resulting in waste of antifreeze.
