I have seen pink, red, orange, blue, purple, green, and yellow.
They all turn brown if not changed when required.
You can't "mix colors to get antifreeze."
No you can't. Dex Cool antifreeze which is Orange. And regular antifreeze will not mix.
You would get BROWN antifreeze, which would be difficult to see rust colors in. The bright green of antifreeze is designed to warn people what it is, because it is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
yes, to a degree. all forms of antifreeze that are for automotive use should be compatible tho. match the color you put in to the color you take out, or is in there already (green = plain Jane antifreeze, other colors = high life antifreeze)
Some normal colors are green, yellow, red, pink, orange, blue,....
Dexcool is considered a organic compound, as regular antifreeze is considered a glycol compound. They are not compatible with each other, although there are what is called universal antifreeze's available that supposedly can be mixed in either. Also as a side note, there are no official colors of antifreeze. A manufacturers antifreeze can be any color he chooses. It is up to the person to determine what antifreeze is suitable for a car or truck.
in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
The difference between the two colors is that orange antifreeze contains a different type of corrosion inhibitor that has a much longer service life than silicates, phosphates and borates. Orange antifreeze contains organic acids that protect engine parts from corrosion. Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with orange type antifreeze. Never mix the two colors in a cooling system. The organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced.
how many gallons of antifreeze in a 2003 blazer radiator with a/c
Well... sort of.Antifreeze is not naturally colored; coloring agents are added to it. There's no law requiring that a particular type of antifreeze be a specific color, but in general, different colors are used for different types, and it is important to use the right type of antifreeze.So, to sum up: the type of antifreeze matters, the color doesn't, but different colors usually mean different types.
1 gallon in a standard antifreeze jug.
You need 1 1/3 quarts of pure antifreeze.
