You can't "mix colors to get antifreeze."
The difference between the two colors is that orange antifreeze contains a different type of corrosion inhibitor that has a much longer service life than silicates, phosphates and borates. Orange antifreeze contains organic acids that protect engine parts from corrosion. Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with orange type antifreeze. Never mix the two colors in a cooling system. The organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced.
If they're the same type of antifreeze, they should be compatible. You just don't want to mix different types of antifreeze (e.g., universal green, Dex-Cool orange, red, etc.).
you can mix water with anything
No you can't. Dex Cool antifreeze which is Orange. And regular antifreeze will not mix.
In a vehicle engine cooling system : ( DISTILLED WATER is PREFERRED ) Usually mixed 50 / 50 with antifreeze , Ford states not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mix
no
no
Ford vehicles come from the factory with 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water Ford says minimum 40 % antifreeze and maximum 60 % antifreeze for proper engine protection
If the bottle says it can mix with all types, then yes.
No you can not due to the properties of the two. Certain "red" antifreezes and "green" antifreeze combine and turn to "mud". Other "red" antifreezes combine with out any problem. You best bet is to not mix colors ever.
Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with red type antifreeze. Never mix them in a cooling system, the organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced. Always use what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
