Experts warn car owners! Don’t avoid spending 300 TL for antifreeze not to incur loss of 80,000 TL
As the impact of the cold weather becomes more important, experts are issuing vital warnings to vehicle owners. Industrial experts are warning drivers who avoid spending 300 liras on antifreeze to prevent freezing in the engine compartment, saying, “You could face a bill of 80,000 liras.” Experts also draw attention to various possible engine malfunctions.
As the cold weather sets in, with freezing and temperatures dropping below zero on the roads, car owners are heading to garages, and auto mechanics are issuing a warning about ‘antifreeze.’ To prevent freezing in the engine compartment during winter, antifreeze is essential. Drivers who avoid the 300 TL antifreeze expense may encounter various engine malfunctions ranging from 40,000 to 80,000 TL.
“THOSE WHO DON’T USE 300 TL ANTIFREEZE CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGES BETWEEN 40,000 AND 80,000 TL”
Experts point out that antifreeze is not only important in winter but should also be used in summer. They say, “Antifreeze is like the circulating blood in humans. Those who do not put 300 TL antifreeze in winter cause engine damages ranging from 40,000 to 80,000 TL. Antifreeze is not only valid for winter months; it should be used for all four seasons. If antifreeze is used in the vehicle for all four seasons, it prevents the spare parts inside the vehicle from rusting, and this ensures a longer life for the vehicle’s spare parts. For this reason, antifreeze is very important. In winter, it prevents the engine from freezing and allows drivers to start their vehicles more easily and continue on their way.”
“DEGREES VARY”
Experts mention that there are different degrees of antifreeze, saying, “Antifreeze varies degree by degree. There are pure antifreezes at minus 37, 56, and 74 degrees. In some places, even if it does not drop to minus degrees, it saves the vehicle because it has not seen zero. In some places, when the air temperature drops to minus 30-40 degrees, antifreeze prevents the vehicle from freezing.”
“DRIVERS SHOULD USE ANTIFREEZE CONTINUOUSLY”
Continuing his statement by saying, “If antifreeze is not used, the engine of the vehicle will freeze, and the car cannot be started,” Kaya added: “If starting the engine is difficult, damages occur. This also leads to various malfunctions. If attempts are made to repair the engine along with engine malfunctions, an estimate of around 80,000 TL will be made. Drivers should use antifreeze continuously. They should not use it only in winter. When drivers continuously use antifreeze in their vehicles, they have better vehicle performance for their own benefit. They ensure the longer durability of their spare parts.”
