Coloring is deliberately added to antifreeze; the actual "active ingredients" are largely colorless. You should not assume that just because it's red, it's exactly the same as any other red. (Also, you should not assume that it's "better" than green/yellow/blue/pink/whatever. Particular antifreeze formulations are designed for particular types of cooling systems; use the type recommended by your owner's manual.)
