How much automobile coolant is appropriate?
The standard amount of automobile coolant is usually in5 to 6 litersBetween, this is an ideal range. If the coolant is too much or too little, it will adversely affect the normal operation of the car.
It is very important to know the types and characteristics of coolant for maintaining the good operation of automobile cooling system. The following is an introduction to several types of coolant:
Alcohol-based coolant:
This type of coolant used ethanol as antifreeze. Although it is cheap and has good fluidity, its boiling point is low, it is easy to evaporate and lose, and its freezing point is easy to rise, so there is a risk of flammability. Because of these shortcomings, it has been gradually eliminated.
Glycerol coolant:
Glycerol-type coolant has the advantages of high boiling point and low volatility, is not easy to burn, and has low toxicity and corrosion. However, its disadvantage is that the effect of lowering freezing point is not good and the cost is relatively high, so only a few Nordic countries are still using it.
In addition to the above two types of coolants, there are other types of coolants, such as glycol coolants and water-based coolants. Choosing the appropriate coolant according to the specific needs and environmental conditions of the vehicle is very important for maintaining the normal operation of the automobile cooling system.
In daily maintenance, it is a key step to check the quantity and quality of cooling liquid regularly and supplement or replace it as needed to ensure the stable operation of automobile cooling system.
