Antifreeze, like any other technical fluid, tends to lose its useful qualities during long-term operation. It is easy to guess that in order for this liquid to continue to perform its functions properly, the antifreeze should be replaced in a timely manner. But how often should this be done? Every motorist who does not want to get into unpleasant situations associated with “unplanned” vehicle repairs should know this.
Let's start with the most important thing: before grabbing the procedure for replacing antifreeze, it will not be superfluous read the manufacturer's own recommendations and prescriptions for a particular fluid antifreeze. You should also familiarize yourself with the technical documentation of your "swallow". The section on engine operation should provide information on which class of antifreeze to use. All this will give answers to most of the questions and save the motorist from a huge number of problems due to premature wear and engine breakdown.
As you might have guessed from the above, the question "when it is necessary to change the antifreeze in the car" does not have a general answer. The service interval can vary greatly depending on the specific type of engine and the type of antifreeze used with it. It is important to understand something else: do not arbitrarily increase the service interval in an attempt to save money. Such an attitude will not lead to anything good except for expensive repairs in the future. So, for example, G12 antifreeze works up to 5 years. And expensive G13 antifreeze based on propylene glycol can last 10 years.
It should also be borne in mind that each antifreeze has its own set of additives, which may lose performance earlier than expected when using the fluid in unsuitable conditions. As a result, the engine of the car not only starts to work at elevated temperatures, but also becomes clogged with harmful sediment, which begins to fall out of the coolant. This subtlety once again indicates the importance of correctly and carefully choosing antifreeze for a specific engine and specific operating conditions. Only the motorist himself is able to appreciate both that and the other.
