Fluids in your vehicle should be able to take a POUNDING -40 degrees. Although, if the oil is too thick for winter it may not start (ask local parts store for oil specs) and if your antifreeze has too much water the cooling system MAY ruin your engine if it swells and freezes.

What does theb antifreez do?
Antifreeze helps prevent a car's engine coolant from freezing in cold temperatures and also helps regulate the engine temperature in hot conditions. It prevents the cooling system from overheating or freezing, ultimately protecting the engine from damage.
How do you unfreeze a car engine?
if you mean the engine has seized up due to excessive heat... I don't think you can if you mean it froze due to extreme cold, you will need to warm it to above freezing and hope the act of freezing didn't damage the block
What is the climate in mali?
Temperaturs avrage around 86F [30C]
When your get closer to the equaor temperaturs usally gets hoter or colder?
hotter
Can you drive a car leaking antifreeze when it is 0 degrees?
Yes, however, not recommended Your engine still needs coolant, hot or freezing outside.
What does the preheater in an engine do?
The preheater warms up the engine so it will start easier and in freezing weather will help to avoid freezing of the coolant.
If not enough antifreeze in car what will be damaged?
Vehicle may overheat (low coolant) Engine may freeze in cold weather (protection from freezing not adequate)
How do you stop the water in a car from freezing?
In the winter, when the temps go below freezing, there should not be any water in a car. It should be antifreeze, actual windshield wiper fluid, etc.... This will prevent any freezing.
What does antifreeze do for your car?
It stops your car from freezing and not starting up in cold weather
What happens to a car engine in freezing temperatures when there's no antifreeze?
If you have water instead of antifreeze in your cooling system, it will freeze! You won't be able to start the car, because the engine is connected to the water pump (which won't be able to move). If you have nothing in your cooling system (no water, no antifreeze, nothing else), then you need your head checked. Your car won't start either.
How do you prevent engine oil from freezing besides plugging in?
Engine oil is not going to freeze in your engine. It will get very thick but will not freeze.
Is there a difference between coolant and antifreeze?
In general, a coolant is any liquid that will keep your car from overheating. While, antifreeze is a liquid coolant that is formulated to withstand sub freezing temperatures without freezing to a solid state.same thing but different name,but i guess coolant is to keep your engine cool and the antifreeze also does the same plus it keeps your engine safe from frezing as well.
