Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your vehicle's cooling system operates efficiently and prevents potential damage. A simple yet crucial part of this maintenance is regularly checking your antifreeze coolant. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a provider of high-quality antifreeze for auto cooling systems, offers this guide to help you perform a basic DIY check to maintain your vehicle's engine protection.

The first step in checking your antifreeze coolant is to ensure the engine has cooled down completely. Never open the radiator cap or coolant reservoir when the engine is hot, as the pressurized hot fluid can cause severe burns. Once the engine is cool, locate the coolant reservoir, which is usually a translucent plastic tank connected to the radiator. You should be able to see the coolant level through the side of the reservoir. There are typically 'min' and 'max' markings on the reservoir. The coolant level should be between these two marks.

If the coolant level is low, it might indicate a leak in the cooling system. While topping up with the correct type of antifreeze coolant is possible, it’s advisable to have the system inspected for leaks if the level drops significantly. Using the right type of antifreeze is essential. Our antifreeze coolants are available in various formulations, and it’s important to use one that is compatible with your vehicle's cooling system. Our multi-color car coolant options can help with identification, but consulting your vehicle's manual is always recommended.

Beyond the level, it’s also important to check the condition of the antifreeze coolant. The coolant should typically be brightly colored (e.g., green, orange, or pink, depending on the type) and clear. If the coolant appears cloudy, rusty, or contains debris, it may be old or contaminated and should be replaced. This visual inspection is a simple yet effective way to gauge the health of your cooling system and the effectiveness of the engine protection provided by the coolant.
