Yes, but. Antifreeze is also a corrosion inhibitor. It protects the engine and head gasket from corrosion problems. It is far better, and safer to use a 50/50 antifreeze and water mix in the engine.
Refer to owners manual and if using water to dilute use distilled water
Distilled water mixed with antifreeze ( usually 50 / 50 , Ford says up to 60 % antifreeze in colder climates )
Inhibited propylene glycol if you are using antifreeze instead of water, But I do not understand why unless it is a vacation home or something along that line.
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
It uses a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze/coolant
It is ok for a short time but you need to get a 50/50 mixture back in it asap (50% water & 50% antifreeze)
it breaks stuf
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
A sentence for the word antifreeze may be, " What is the best antifreeze to use in drinking water?" Antifreeze is a liquid which is used to lower the freezing point.
You should never use transmission fluid in a radiator.You can use water without antifreeze in a radiator, but if the engine gets below 32 F (0 C) the water will freeze and severely damage the engine.
You want to use a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze, but use the manufacture recommended antifreeze, it comes straight anti freeze in which case you would mix a gallon of antifreeze to a gallon of water or you can buy a pre mixed container of antifreeze if your just trying to top off
Instead try pouring salt water into the drain to thaw it
