The weather is getting colder and colder. The most core care for your car must of course start from the heart of your car - the engine. The choice of antifreeze is a top priority for the health of the "heart" of the car. So what should consumers pay attention to when choosing to use antifreeze?
The lower the freezing point, the better. The basic indicators of antifreeze are freezing point and boiling point. In autumn and winter, you should choose to use antifreeze with a low freezing point. The lower the freezing point, the stronger the antifreeze's antifreeze performance. Under normal circumstances, the freezing point of the selected antifreeze should be more than 10°C lower than the local minimum temperature to prepare for sudden weather changes.
The anti-corrosion function should be emphasized. There are many types of antifreeze on the market, and the quality is inevitably mixed. Generally, the antifreeze produced by small blending plants is only put on the market after the freezing point of the antifreeze is measured. These products that have not been formally inspected are often highly corrosive and damage the cooling system of the car. Some antifreeze will corrode and perforate the water tank and flow into the engine, causing major accidents. Therefore, it is recommended that users choose regular brands of antifreeze.
Things to note when using antifreeze: Note 1: Try to use the same brand of antifreeze. The production formulas of different brands of antifreeze may vary. If mixed, chemical reactions may occur between multiple additives, causing the additives to become ineffective.
Note 2: The validity period of antifreeze is usually two years (some products may be longer). When adding, make sure that the product is within the validity period.
Note 3: It must be replaced regularly, generally every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. Taxis should be replaced more frequently. When replacing, drain the old liquid, clean the cooling system, and then replace it with new liquid.
Note 4: Avoid using it with water.
