Not if the temperature will fall below freezing.
depends on what kind you buy , you can buy premixed (already has water added ) or just plane antifreeze ,then you need to mix it 50/50 with water
( YES ) you can buy premixed engine coolant ( antifreeze mixed with water ) or concentrated antifreeze
You dilute your antifreeze. If you buy prediluted 50/50 antifreeze, then you'll dilute it more than you're supposed to. If you buy straight 100% antifreeze, you're actually supposed to dilute it yourself by adding an equal amount of water to the antifreeze you put it. Your vehicle will be fine. Stop freaking out. Get a coolant flush.
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
every new car comes with antifreeze.... now when you buy a used car sometimes it may just have water inside the radiator but that is only because the person that you buy it from is so cheap did not want to buy at least some cheap antifreeze. now know this water cools down better than anti but water lets your engine rust so never water unless emergency
Yes. Never add pure antifreeze. Pure antifreeze will actually freeze before a 50/50 mix. Add coolant that is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. You can buy it already pre-mixed.
The thing you should never do is put 100% water. You can buy the 100 percent antifreeze(the green color kind) and just mix it yourself. You shouldn't put 100% antifreeze either, depending on where you live and the usual temperature you drive through. For a more colder area, you would put more antifreeze than water and hot places about 50/50 antifreeze/water.
You don't buy lukewarm water, you heat water until its lukewarm.
Any readily available 50/50 antifreeze water mix will do. You can even buy pre-mixed.
The maximum recommended mixture is 50% antifreeze and 50% water. To my knowledge, 100% antifreeze is not recommended. If you are concerned about measuring, you can buy the pre-mix at just about any auto parts store or WalMart.
Read the owner's manual and buy any antifreeze that meets the requirements listed. The manual calls for Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid, but any water/ethylene glycol based antifreeze solution should be OK. Use the regular green antifreeze, mixed at least 50/50 with water, but never over 70% antifreeze, or just buy it pre-mixed. Make sure it is safe to use with aluminum engine parts. I use Prestone.
If your car only has one temperature gauge in the instrument cluster, it will most likely be water temperature. If you're not happy with that, you can buy after market water temp gauges and have one fitted.
