"The freezing point of various antifreeze fluids is different, which is determined by different regions and different ambient temperatures. The freezing point of antifreeze fluid in southern regions is generally around minus 15°C, while it is much higher in northern regions." Hangzhou Haichuan Boss Wang of the auto parts firm said that there are many antifreezes in the market that have a freezing point of minus 25°C, but in fact they do not meet the standard, and the freezing point is only about 15°C.
Antifreeze should be replaced every 2-3 years
Winter is the peak season for vehicle antifreeze sales, but the current antifreeze products on the market are mixed, which makes it difficult for consumers to start. Faced with a variety of brands, professionals suggest to buy high-end brands. The quality is relatively guaranteed. If fake and shoddy antifreeze is used, it will cause great damage to the vehicle, ranging from blocking the pipeline to corroding the water tank.
Recently, many car owners have come to replace the antifreeze, but the car owners are not clear about the knowledge of antifreeze replacement. Some car owners also ask to replace the antifreeze in less than 2 years, but it is completely unnecessary. Generally, the car only needs to replace the antifreeze in 2-3 years. The new car has the original antifreeze, which is of good quality, and basically there will be no signs of boiling or freezing. Unless there is an accident, the antifreeze needs to be replaced or added when it leaks.
In the process of replacing the antifreeze, there are two color options of blue and red. "Different types of antifreeze cannot be mixed, so as not to cause chemical reactions, generate precipitation or air bubbles, and reduce the use effect." I used blue before, and bought the same color in the future, which can effectively prevent the increase of precipitation.
According to professionals, antifreeze generally has a color, and the darker the color, the stronger the antifreeze ability. When consumers change antifreeze for their cars, they must check the factory name, factory address, telephone number, production date, etc. on the packaging. Regular products have complete labels and clear handwriting, while fake and inferior products have blurred handwriting and are easy to erase.
