Can I add mineral water if the antifreeze is gone?Can mineral water be added to antifreeze?

If the car's antifreeze is gone, mineral water cannot be added. Because the antifreeze contains certain substances, water cannot be completely replaced, and may even cause certain dirt to appear, affecting the use of the water tank. If we are really urgent, we can use pure water instead, but we must quickly drive to a nearby repair shop or 4s shop to buy antifreeze and replace it.

Why can't mineral water be used instead of antifreeze?

Because mineral water contains certain minerals, these minerals will adhere to the water tank of the car, and after a long time, it will cause blockage of the interior and pipelines, which will affect the heat dissipation effect. However, there will be less or no minerals in pure water, so it will be slightly better, but it must not replace antifreeze.

What to pay attention to when using antifreeze

1. Antifreeze cannot be mixed and added. There are different brands and different models of antifreeze, which cannot be mixed and added. If we mix and add, it will cause chemical reactions in the internal components of these different antifreeze, which will lead to poor antifreeze effect or even Negative effects occur.

2. Antifreeze has an expiry date. Under normal circumstances, the validity period of antifreeze is two years, and some with better quality may take longer, but basically this is the time limit. Therefore, if the antifreeze we add to the car has exceeded the specified time, it is best to replace it in time.

3. Do not mix antifreeze with water. Some car owners will add water to the antifreeze in order to use it more times, which will affect the effect of the antifreeze.
