How often to change the antifreeze Many car owners can't remember

People like to compare the car to a person, the engine is equivalent to the "heart" in the human body, the gearbox is the "kidney", the chassis is the "bone", and the oil, antifreeze and transmission oil are equivalent to the "blood" in the human body. These metaphors are used to prove to car owners that every part of the car has a very important role. Take the antifreeze of the car, it is not only for the antifreeze and exists, but also has a certain role in sound insulation and noise reduction, lubrication and so on.

In the winter, the main function of the antifreeze is to prevent the car from being frozen and unable to start again. Because antifreeze has other effects, it is checked and replaced all year round. For example, in the summer, the outdoor temperature is already very high, and the car engine will also generate a lot of heat during operation, which requires antifreeze to cool down, so as not to let the engine "open the pot".

In the process of continuous use, the antifreeze will continue to be lost, itself also has a certain shelf life, even if you do not use the car for a long time, the antifreeze may deteriorate, so you need to pay attention to check its working state. So the question is, how often should the antifreeze on the car be changed? For this question, the Internet can be said to be a variety of opinions, there is no exact answer, let's take a look at what experienced maintenance workers say.

For the replacement of antifreeze, the maintenance worker said: two years is a boundary, within two years to replace the antifreeze, even if it will waste a little, but basically will not cause damage to the car. But if it is not replaced for more than two years, the consequences will be very serious, when the state of natural storage, the shelf life of the antifreeze is two years. If you use the car regularly, it will be clean in less than two years, and there is no antifreeze to cool down and antifreeze. Sooner or later, the engine will have problems.

Now there are many young drivers, after having a car, they only know how to enjoy it, and drive around every day. But did not pay attention to the car's instruction manual, in fact, it clearly said that the various oils should be replaced at what time. As a result, many car owners have let the engine of their car be scrapped in advance because they do not have a long memory.

So how do you replace the antifreeze? Depending on the type of vehicle, the type of antifreeze originally added to the car is also different. So everyone should first go to the repair shop for consultation, know what type of antifreeze was added at the beginning, and try to use the same brand to avoid accidents.

When replacing, it should also be noted that if the owner changes at home, after opening the hood, you will see that there are two containers in the engine compartment, and the shape is similar. But don't make a mistake, if you add antifreeze to the container containing glass water, it may also make the car malfunction. The difference between the two is the word on the lid of the container, and it is clear which one to change. It is important to drain the waste antifreeze before changing.

Maintaining a car is never a trivial matter, and many people have said 180 times about how to replace antifreeze, but so what, there are still many people who don't know. I hope that after reading it, everyone can tell each other to their relatives and friends that they should not use the wrong way to maintain the car.
