First, check the coolant level regularly. Coolant storage tanks are usually marked with level marks, and the normal level should be between the highest and lowest marks. A low level may mean that there is a leak in the system or that the coolant evaporates too much. It is necessary to find out the cause and add coolant in time, otherwise it may cause the engine to overheat.
Second, pay attention to the quality of the coolant. It is not only important to maintain the proper level of coolant, but also its quality. If the coolant becomes turbid, has impurities or abnormal color, it should be replaced in time. Poor or deteriorated coolant will reduce the cooling effect and even corrode the cooling system components.
Furthermore, be cautious when adding coolant. Be sure to use the type of coolant recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Different types of coolants have different chemical compositions. Mixing may cause chemical reactions and damage the cooling system. During the addition process, pour slowly to avoid overflow.
In addition, pay attention to the cleanliness of the coolant storage tank. Clean the outside of the tank regularly to prevent dust and debris from accumulating. At the same time, clean the inside of the storage tank in the correct way at certain mileage or time intervals to remove scale and impurities to ensure smooth circulation of the coolant.
Finally, do not open the coolant storage tank cap immediately after the engine is running at high temperature. Because the pressure in the system is high at this time, opening it rashly may cause high-temperature coolant to spray out and cause burns. Wait until the engine cools down before opening it carefully.
