How much anti freeze you need in my car?

The amount of antifreeze you need in your car depends on the type of vehicle, the engine size, and the climate in which you live. Some vehicles require a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water, while others require a 70/30 mix or even a pure antifreeze solution. Consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to determine the specific requirements for your vehicle.

In general, it's important to maintain a sufficient level of antifreeze in your car's cooling system to protect it from freezing in cold weather and overheating in hot weather. Antifreeze also helps prevent corrosion and lubricates the water pump.

If you're unsure about the amount of antifreeze in your car, you can check the coolant level in the reservoir. The reservoir is typically located under the hood of your car, and it's usually marked with "coolant" or "antifreeze." The coolant level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the reservoir. If the coolant level is low, you can add more antifreeze (or a mixture of antifreeze and water, depending on the specific requirements for your vehicle).
