What will happen if the car engine explodes?
What gearheads call and engine explosion and what actually happens is not truly and explosion. When the internal rotating mass of the engine self disassembles or "Explodes" at high speed and high stress the connecting rods often get projected out of the engine block causing instant massive loss of oil and coolant. The hot metal parts can be scattered onto the road way causing tire damage and "Shrapnel" damage to following cars. The oil and coolant can get on to the hot exhaust system causing a fire. Even without a fire the fluids can cause smoke and steam clouds the obscure vision of the following motorists or even the car with the engine failure. The oil and coolant can also create a oil and coolant slick that makes the car almost uncontrollable. Still not the explosion from Hollywood.

What can happen if coolant doesn't get changed?
Old coolant begins to break down merely because of the conditions within the engine, being heated and cooling down all of the time. And it can become polluted with dirt and rust particles. Eventually this causes damage to the inside of the engine and radiator, it can clog passages causing the engine to overheat, and cause the engine block and radiator to rust badly from the inside out.
