Can antifreeze be used with water?

Antifreeze cannot be used with water.

It is not recommended to mix antifreeze with water, because after mixing with water, the boiling point of antifreeze will be very low, which will have a great impact on the cooling system of the engine in summer or winter. For example, when the weather is hot, the cooling effect becomes worse and the engine is easy to boil; It's cold and easy to freeze.

After adding water, the freezing degree of the new frozen liquid will rise to about-10, which will cause the frozen liquid to freeze in many cold areas and cause serious damage to the heat dissipation of the water storage tank or heat pipe. One thing is that after adding water, the proportion of anti-corrosion additives in the frozen liquid is unbalanced, and the anti-corrosion effect is reduced. At this time, it is easy to cause "stains", even "erosion" of radiators, and even water seepage. Don't freeze.

Application skills of automobile antifreeze

1, pay attention to the storage method.

Automobile antifreeze needs to be stored in a cool place, not in direct sunlight. Tighten the cover to prevent the antifreeze from contacting with the air during storage, which will affect the antifreeze performance, and in serious cases, it will lead to the failure of the antifreeze.

2. Pay attention to the internal cleaning of the cooling system when replacing.

It is necessary to clean the automobile cooling system when replacing the automobile antifreeze. If the engine cooling system is not cleaned, some scale and deposits will remain. After adding new antifreeze, the color will change obviously and the performance will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the automobile cooling system when replacing the automobile antifreeze.

3. Regularly check the liquid level of antifreeze.

In the daily use of cars, it is necessary to check the antifreeze of cars. The normal liquid level should be between the MAX and MIN scales, and the remaining amount of antifreeze should be well controlled to avoid unnecessary losses caused by automobile failures caused by automobile antifreeze during the use of the automobile.
