When the engine is not in use, it is better to add water to the water tank or antifreeze

There are benefits to adding antifreeze. Standardized use method Antifreeze should be used all year round, regardless of winter and summer, which is good for the water tank.

Antifreeze prevents coolant from freezing and cracking radiators and freezing engine blocks or covers when the coolant freezes when parking in the cold winter. Many people think that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze is not just used in winter, it is used all year round.

Antifreeze has an anti-corrosion function, which not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system, but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions. It plays a role in the corrosion protection of the components of the cooling system. Prevent limescale and avoid reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator.

Ensure that the engine can work within the normal temperature range. Therefore, the antifreeze of the engine must have the characteristics of anti-freezing, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, waterproof and non-foaming, and is not affected by the season and region.

Generally with water but rusty, if the water is put in the addition of antifreeze or the same raw embroidery.

A complete antifreeze without impurities will not corrode the water tank, but it will not work if there is water. It is recommended that you always use what you add at the beginning, and if you add water at the beginning and then add antifreeze, it will rust as well.

1. Prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator and freezing the engine cylinder block or cover when parking in the cold winter. Antifreeze also has the function of anti-corrosion, which not only affects the normal heat dissipation of the radiator after the scale is generated, but also is more likely to cause the blockage of the circulating pipe of the cooling system, and the water temperature is too high and seriously affects the normal operation of the engine. Cause fouling in the waterway, affect the normal circulation of engine cooling water, and reduce the cooling intensity, so that the engine temperature is too high, reduce the power, increase fuel consumption, and reduce the service life of the engine.

Antifreeze is a little better, antifreeze contains preservatives to prevent the tank or other parts from corroding.

If you don't need it, you should also add antifreeze, because the water will deteriorate and not prevent rust.

Let's see what others have to say.

1. The car water tank is definitely coolant!

2. In the coolant, the base fluid is water + ethylene glycol. Then a lot of additives are added. The additives are mainly anti-rust, and prevent limescale and keep the cooling system clean.

3. The freezing point of water is 0 degrees, and the boiling point is 100 degrees. At present, antifreeze can achieve a freezing point of minus 45 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of more than 110 degrees. So coolant is also called antifreeze.

So if your winter temperature is below 0 degrees, add water to your car and don't drive if it freezes!

4. Water has no anti-rust effect. The water flow at high temperature constantly impacts the water pump, which is also prone to "cavitation cavitation" and accelerates the aging of the water pump.

Add water or antifreeze to the car water tank The car water tank should be filled with antifreeze, if water is added, it will damage the engine. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, and the function of antifreeze is cooling, not antifreeze. The engines used in automobiles are water-cooled, and water-cooled engines rely on coolant to continuously circulate heat in the engine.

The coolant has two circulation paths within the engine, one is a large cycle and the other is a small cycle.

When the engine is just started, the coolant is circulated in small quantities, and the coolant will not pass through the cooling tank.

After the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the coolant is recirculated and the coolant is dissipated through the cooling tank.

The coolant needs to be replaced regularly, and if the coolant is used for a long time, the freezing point will increase and the boiling point will decrease.

If the coolant is not changed for a long time, it will affect the normal operation of the engine.

It is recommended that you change the coolant regularly when you use the car, and you should clean the old coolant in the cooling system every time you change the coolant.

When using the car at ordinary times, you must maintain your car on time, and regular maintenance can keep the car in good condition, which can effectively extend the service life of the car.

When maintaining, be sure to use **accessories and**fluids.

When it comes to maintenance, be sure to go to a professional institution or go directly to a 4S shop.

Add water to the car tank or add antifreeze.

The water tank needs to be filled with antifreeze, and adding water will cause problems. Antifreeze dissipates heat from the engine, and if water is added, it will become limescale when heated, which can clog the cooling system. And the boiling point of water is lower than that of antifreeze, and the freezing point is higher than that of antifreeze, and the use of water to dissipate heat from the engine in both summer and winter can be problematic.

Therefore, antifreeze needs to be added to the water tank.

Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on antifreeze to continuously circulate heat through the engine.

Antifreeze has two circulation paths within the engine, one for the large cycle and the other for the small cycle.

When the engine is first started, the antifreeze is in small circulation.

The antifreeze does not need to be dissipated by the heat dissipation tank when it is circulated for a small time, which is conducive to the rapid heating of the engine.

After the engine reaches the normal operating temperature, the antifreeze will be recycled, and the antifreeze will pass through the heat dissipation tank, so that the engine can be kept within a reasonable operating temperature.

Antifreeze needs to be replaced regularly, and the freezing point will increase and the boiling point will decrease when the antifreeze is used for a long time.

If the antifreeze is not changed regularly, it will affect the normal operation of the engine.

When replacing antifreeze, you must go to a professional institution, and you must buy the best antifreeze of a big brand, and you must also choose a model that is suitable for your car engine. (Photo by Q&A) 2019

Antifreeze is required for the tank. Adding water can cause problems. Antifreeze is used to cool the engine.

If you add noisy water, limescale will appear after the water is heated, which may clog the cooling system. And the boiling point of water is lower than that of antifreeze, and the freezing point is higher than that of antifreeze, so there will be problems with cooling the engine with water in summer and winter.

Therefore, antifreeze is required in the tank.

Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on antifreeze to continuously circulate the heat in the machine.

Antifreeze has two cycle paths in the engine, one is a large cycle and the other is a small cycle.

When the engine is first started, the amount of antifreeze circulating is small.

When the antifreeze is circulated in a small cycle, it does not need to be dissipated through the radiator water tank, which is conducive to the rapid heating of the engine.

Once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the antifreeze circulates in large quantities. At this point, the antifreeze dissipates heat through the radiator tank, allowing the engine to be kept within a reasonable operating temperature.

Antifreeze needs to be replaced regularly, and with prolonged use of antifreeze, the freezing point will rise and the boiling point will decrease.

If the antifreeze is not changed regularly, it will affect the normal operation of the engine.

When replacing antifreeze, be sure to go to a professional institution, buy a big brand of ** antifreeze, and choose the model that suits your car engine.

The water tank of the current car no longer needs to be filled with water, but with antifreeze. The reason why antifreeze should be added instead of water is mainly because water has a corrosive effect, which will also cause rust inside the water tank, and the water will freeze in winter and cause the entire cooling system of the car to fail.

The reason for adding antifreeze is that it can have an antifreeze effect in winter, anti-boiling in summer, and has a variety of excellent properties such as waterproof scale and anti-corrosion. Long-term use can clean the dirt inside the tank and protect the tank. Therefore, it is better not to add water to the tank, but to add antifreeze.

In addition, although the water tank of the car can not be filled with water now, if it is in an emergency, it can still be added once to the emergency, but the maintenance of related components must be carried out in the future. If you want to replace the antifreeze, you need to clean the water tank once, and you don't need to clean it if you replace the antifreeze of the same brand. If you find that the water tank is too dirty on weekdays, you can also release the antifreeze and clean the water tank.

How do I change my tank antifreeze?

1. Open the engine compartment cover, find the position of the water tank and unscrew the water tank cover. Then open the drain valve of the tank, and the remaining antifreeze in the tank will be discharged.

2. After the antifreeze in the water tank is discharged, it can continuously inject clean water into the engine cooling system. During this process, the engine should be kept idling so that the water can circulate inside, and wait until the water tank is released.

3. Wait for a few minutes, wait for the water to completely dry out of the tank, and then close the drain valve, after which you can add new antifreeze, just add it to a position below the scale max.

4. Let the engine idle again, wait for the air in the cooling system to be discharged, and then add a part of antifreeze.

The car water tank is added with antifreeze, and water cannot be added directly. The method of adding antifreeze to the car water tank is as follows:

1. Turn the pressure cover in a counterclockwise direction, if you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound disappears before opening it;

2. Fill an appropriate amount of coolant into the coolant expansion tank to reach the position between the max and min scales of the expansion tank;

3. Start the engine when the coolant expansion tank cover is opened;

4. After starting the engine, the coolant in the tank will slowly decrease, and then add an appropriate amount of coolant to the expansion tank until the liquid level reaches the position between the max and min degrees of the coolant expansion tank;

5. Reattach the lid and make sure the pressure cap is tightened by hand and fully seated.

The car water tank should be filled with antifreeze. The water in life is impure and contains impurities, if the water circulates in the engine, especially when the large circulation flows into the cooling box behind the air intake grille, the impure water will produce scale to block the cooling system, which will lead to the aggravation of the engine weakness and wear, and the high-temperature water is easy to evaporate, resulting in a lack of water in the cooling system, which will cause the cylinder to be pulled and the cylinder head to be deformed, and more seriously the engine will be scrapped.

In principle, coolant must be added, but the coolant is mixed with antifreeze and water according to the use of the manufacturer, and in fact, the coolant can be used under the condition of non-freezing to meet the minimum temperature. If you use it in Hainan, you don't need to add antifreeze, just add water. However, in Heilongjiang in Northeast China, you have to add antifreeze with less water, or even add anhydrous antifreeze.

The role of antifreeze:

1. Antifreeze is a kind of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling system, antifreeze has excellent properties such as antifreeze in winter, anti-boiling in summer, waterproof scale and anti-corrosion throughout the year.

2. The engine and its cooling system are made of metal, including copper, iron, aluminum, steel and solder. These metals come into contact with water at high temperatures, and over time, they will be corroded and rusted. Antifreeze not only does not corrode the engine cooling system, but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions.

3. At present, more than 95% of domestic and foreign water-based antifreeze uses ethylene glycol, compared with tap water, the most significant feature of ethylene glycol is antifreeze, and water can not be antifreeze. Secondly, ethylene glycol has a high boiling point, low volatility, moderate viscosity and small change with temperature, and good thermal stability. Therefore, glycol-based antifreeze is an ideal coolant.
