The coolant should be changed every few years

The coolant is generally replaced every two years. If you look at the number of kilometers traveled, it is almost every 40,000 kilometers. If the coolant is not replaced within the prescribed period, the cooling performance will be greatly reduced, so that the engine cannot be cooled well, and thus it is vulnerable to certain damages.

Matters needing attention when changing car coolant

1. If the vehicle has just stopped, it is not possible to add coolant immediately. At this time, the temperature of the engine is relatively high. It is necessary to let the engine cool down slowly, and then add it after cooling down for a while, so that the owner will not be easily burned;

2. There are many colors and types of coolant. There cannot be two different types of coolant in the coolant kettle, otherwise the coolant will react, which will lose part of its performance;

3. When the coolant in the coolant tank is too low, you can add a small amount of pure water for emergency, but you can’t add water for a long time. You need to drive the vehicle to the repair shop to replace the coolant in the coolant tank. Then fill with new coolant.

The owner usually needs to check the coolant. The page of the coolant needs to be between the two scale lines. If it is lower than the lowest scale line, it means that the amount of coolant is too small, which will make the cooling effect worse. In order to better To protect the engine and make the vehicle run better, it is necessary to add coolant as soon as possible.

If the temperature in the winter driving area is relatively low, it is necessary to add antifreeze coolant. The antifreeze coolant not only has the function of cooling, but also has the function of antifreezing, so that the engine cylinder is not easy to be frozen, and the vehicle can start well.
