There is a lot of controversy about "which is better, antifreeze or antifreeze." In fact, antifreeze is a domestically produced antifreeze, but with its own characteristics. Since the composition of imported antifreeze and domestic antifreeze is different, the habit has come into use of separating these liquids from each other.
It is necessary
- - the required amount of antifreeze;
- - a container for draining antifreeze;
- - water for flushing the system;
- - flushing liquid.
Instructions
Step 1
Warm up the car for 5-10 minutes. Park the machine on a slope forward. Place an empty container under the radiator drain hole. Unscrew the drain plug and carefully drain the used antifreeze. Be careful, the liquid can be very hot. Use thick gloves or mittens for work.
Step 2
Screw the plug into place. Be careful not to overdo it. Otherwise it will lead to thread stripping and costly repairs. Fill the system with water previously diluted with flushing liquid. Start the engine, turn on the stove to maximum power and let the engine run for a few minutes. Keep an eye on the temperature sensor, as prolonged use of water may cause overheating. Then drain the water as described in the first step.
Step 3
Repeat the procedure several times. Repeat until the drained water is clear. Collect the drained water in a container. Remember, you cannot mix antifreeze and antifreeze. This will corrode the cooling system and leak. Alternatively, rinsing can be done with running water under pressure. The rinsing result is good and time is saved.
Step 4
Place the machine on a hill so that the coolant filler hole is higher than the entire system. This is to reduce the amount of air entering the system and prevent air pockets from forming. Fill in the required amount of antifreeze, warm up the machine again. Check fluid level and top up if necessary.
Step 5
Dispose of used fluids according to the established rules. Or, replace them in reputable car services that have the ability to transfer used consumables for disposal to specialized organizations.
