The OKX appimportance and usage of engine coolant Engine coolant is a very important liquid used to maintain the normal operating temperature of the engine. Using the correct coolant can extend the life of the engine and avoid a series of mechanical failures. This article will introduce in detail the importance and usage of engine coolant. Why does the engine need coolant? The engine generates a large amount of heat during operation, which will overheat and be damaged if it is not dissipated in time. The function of engine coolant is to absorb heat when the engine is running and transfer it to the radiator, and finally dissipate the heat through the radiator. Therefore, the coolant can not only maintain the normal operating temperature of the engine, but also avoid overheating of the engine.It is very important to choose the right coolant. It is very important to choose the right coolant for your car. In most cases, the coolant used in cars is colorless, preservative and corrosion-resistant, while reducing the boiling point of water and improving heat transfer. Different manufacturers will use different chemical formulas to produce coolants, so please be sure to read the instructions carefully and follow the manufacturer's advice. If you add a coolant that is not suitable for your car, it can cause too much or too little contact between the coolant and the engine, and cause the preservatives and anti-corrosion agents in the radiator to encounter incompatible chemicals. This will cause corrosion in the radiator and may form sediment in the engine, resulting in engine overheating. How to check the level of coolant Before using the coolant, be sure to check whether its level is correct, otherwise it may cause engine overheating or other failures in the cooling system.First of all, you should find the car's coolant container and check the liquid level. The container is generally located under the engine cover, usually white or transparent, and marked with a "coolant" sign. If the liquid level is lower than the minimum mark of the container, please add an appropriate amount of coolant. When adding coolant, an equal amount of distilled water or deionized water should be put in the coolant container to maintain the correct level and mixing ratio. If you are not sure how much water should be added, please refer to the instruction manual of the car. When will the coolant be replaced? The replacement time of the coolant may vary depending on the model, so it is best to refer to the instruction manual of the car. In general, the replacement cycle is every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, so please remember to check the replacement time of the coolant. Failure to replace the coolant will lead to two main problems. First of all,Preservatives and anti-corrosion agents will lose their effect after a certain period of time, thus making the coolant unstable. Secondly, sediment will accumulate in the coolant, which may form a blockage in the radiator and cause failure. The method of replacing the coolant If you need to replace the coolant, you can follow these steps. First, make sure that the engine and coolant are fully cooled. Because the hot coolant will bring a certain pressure, which will cause harm to you. During the replacement process, it is best to wear gloves and safety glasses. Before replacing, open the drain plug and drain the old coolant. Then add the coolant to the coolant container. After completion, close the drain plug, then start your car and let the leak run for a few minutes. In this way, the coolant can be circulated and the air can be discharged to prevent the engine from overheating. In summary, engine coolant is a necessary condition for the normal operation of the engine.Using the right coolant can extend the life of the engine and avoid failure. When replacing the coolant, please be sure to read the instruction manual of the car carefully and choose the appropriate coolant according to the relevant suggestions. When replacing, be sure to ensure that the car and coolant are completely cooled, and follow the above steps to operate.
