You can in an emergency , but it's best to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and

preferably distilled water to provide freeze , boil , and corrosion protection

for the engine cooling system . The corrosion protection " portion " of the

antifreeze does " wear out " so change the antifreeze mixture as recommended

( Ford says to not exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mixture )
