( Yes ) antifreeze in your vehicle provides corrosion protection for the engine
cooling system ( the corrosion protection package does " wear out " ) and
antifreeze mixed with preferably distilled water ( usually 50 / 50 , Ford states
not to exceed 60% antifreeze in the mix ) will also raise the boiling point of the
engine coolant as well as lowering the freezing point

How much antifreeze does a car need during the summer?
It is recommended to run a 50% mixture all year round.
Does a car need antifreeze to turn on?
no but if in the winter you do not put in the car the engine will freeze you can also use water during the summer No!
How many gallons of antifreeze do you need for your 8 cylinder motor?
50% Antifreeze and 50% water mixed together. The winter months you need a higher ratio of antifreeze to water and in summer you need the 1/2 and 1/2 ration. It is not suggested to run pure Antifreeze in your car or truck. You can find pre mixed in the jugs at most Wal-marts/Kmarts/Auto Parts stores.
What Ratio of water and antifreeze should vehicles have in the summer?
50% water and 50% antifreeze year round.
What can antifreeze be replaced with?
you replace that with coolant in the summer or hot areas
Why cars use of antifreeze in summer?
Antifreeze also raises the boiling point, has lubricants for the water pump, and has corrosion inhibitors in it.
Why put antifreeze in your car in the summer?
Because antifreeze is also coolant. (basically a temperature regulator) keeping your fluid from freezing in the winter and from overheating in the summer. It also contains anti-corrosion additives.
Do you need antifreeze in car radiator in summer?
Yes. It raises the boiling point of the water it's mixed with so it won't turn into a gas at 100 degrees C.
Why should you use antifreeze all year round?
Beacuse it acts as a coolant in the summer.
Do you need a special antifreeze for a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
No, any antifreeze/coolant will do.
Can you run a car on just water in the summer or do you need antifreeze?
An antifreeze and ( preferably ) distilled water mix is best . The antifreeze provides corrosion protection until the corrosion package " wears out " and a mixture ( 50 / 50 ) raises the boiling point of the coolant You need the corrosion protection and water pump lubricants in the antifreeze. Plus, most modern cars run the radiator fans when the temp gets near 220 deg. If you do not have 50/50 water and coolant it could boil over.
Do you need special antifreeze coolant for turbo?
No, but you do need the full 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water to get the maximum cooling and freeze protection.
