mixture of the radator fluid
This answer is possible but it is not correct and is a poor choice. There are a number of reasons why a car's engine overheats and the original question doesn't give enough information about the car and its overheating symptoms to deduce the answer to being a mixture of radiator fluid. It's not a good way to answer at all other than it being a guess.
The engine can overheat b/c the radiator is old and fill with rust/dus particles that clog it up and the engine as well as the hoses. It can overheats if there's a cooling fan and it's not being turned on at lower speed (bad relay switch or fan motor). It can overheat if it's low in coolant or that the water pump is not working well. It can overheat due to a bad/broken head gasket. It can overheat with trapped air in the cooling system that needs bleeding. When driving with AC on uphill for extended period of time, it can and prob. will overheat, etc. Many reasons for the overheat and to simply give the answer of mixing radiator is simply naive and dull. Do more research being being trigger happy with the fingers :)

You have changed the radiator cap the thermostat the water pump is new and recently changed radiator the radiator stopped the frequenrt overheating but now very rarely it overheats and coolant boil?
Blown head gasket?
If the water pump and thermostat have been changed and there are also no leaks in the hoses or radiator and your vehicle still overheats what is the problem?
check the heater core stopped up radiator
Your kia Rio overheats and blows out cold air you changed the thermostat But still have the problem?
You have not bleed the air out of the system after you installed the t-stat, causing the heater not to work and the engine to overheat. Use a coolant filler that screws into the radiator and get the air out

How do you change the thermostat on a 2004 Chevy Venture?
The thermostat on a 2004 Chevy Venture is changed by draining the radiator, removing the upper radiator hose, and unbolting the thermostat housing. The old thermostat and gasket can then be removed and replaced.
