Can I add water to the tank?
Antifreeze is the main medium for engine heat dissipation. The main ingredients include water, but there is a big difference with water, which has a lot of additives, to ensure that the antifreeze to meet the requirements of various engine conditions. Common antifreeze has red, blue, green and yellow 4 colors, color is not randomly mixed, because different colors represent different formulations, different formulations of antifreeze mixed together, when the engine into the working high temperature state, after the mixing of antifreeze liquefaction scientific stability changes, may lead to cooling performance, antifreeze performance decline, It will even cause corrosion and crystallization of the cooling system, and some will produce poison gas. More can not add antifreeze water instead. When replacing antifreeze, the interval time of most models is in two years or forty thousand kilometers, and some models will be in four years and ten thousand kilometers or longer. You are advised to maintain the interval recommended by the manufacturer. If antifreeze leaks or losses, emergency water can be added, but it should be replaced with antifreeze in time. Adding water will lead to poor heat dissipation, boiling pot, cooling system scale increase, and winter is easy to freeze, damage the engine.
