no, anti freeze doesnt warm a car up, the purpose of anti freeze is to keep your down at a certain temperature. the engine bock creates the heat the anti freeze keeps it at a certain temp. most of the time between 180-195 degrees

When parked, anti-freeze lowers the temperature at which your coolant would freeze- does not make the car warmer, it allows it to get colder without damage. It also RAISES the boiling point of the coolant, so that it can be 230 degrees, but not boiling.

Where do you add the antifreeze?
During Winter or whenever it is cold to lower the freezing point of the water in your car radiator. :] F
Do you need antifreeze to drive your car?
No, but antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors in it's formula. These help to stop corrosion forming internally, and will also protect the head gasket from corroding. Antifreeze added to the water in your cooling system lowers the freezing point of the coolant, preventing the liquid from freezing in the cold winter. It also raises the boiling point of the coolant. If you drive your car with water and no antifreeze, your car will heat up and the water will get hot enough to boil over. With antifreeze, the coolant will continue to do its job of keeping the engine from overheating which can result in damage to the engine.
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.
Why do people put antifreeze into a car radiator for the winter?

Can a car run without antifreeze?
My Saturn is leaking, more like pouring, antifreeze out of a head gasket and I don't have the money to fix it. I have to get to school though which is a short drive. So basically I'm traveling 10 min with no antifreeze and my car is holding up pretty good for now. It's not a good idea and will overheat very quickly without it but I would say you can if you don't drive very far. The antifreeze will lubricate your water pump and keep your engine from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer. You can use water instead of antifreeze in warm climates but that will end up oxidizing all the metal components (like the radiator).
