How closed is closed? How much water does it take to fill that radiator you mention, and how often does it need to be refilled / replaced?

How often does your radiator in your car need water?

If it’s more than every 5 years or so, you’ve got a problem.

Closed is closed.

🙃

Wow ... a whole 2 gals, on average.(1 - 4 gals, depending on size of vehicle).

In a properly functioning cooling system, you shouldn’t need to add water. The system is sealed, and fluid levels should remain stable between scheduled maintenance intervals.

Maybe you have radiator issues. Most don’t. Closed is CLOSED.
