antifreeze is usually mixed 50 / 50 with preferably distilled water for your cooling system ( up to 60 % antifreeze if colder climate ) which includes the radiator , heater core , radiator hoses , heater hoses etc.

Is antifreeze and coolant fluid the same thing?

Yes


Is antifreeze the same a radiator fluid?

Not quite. Anti-freeze is the undiluted liquid that you mix with water (usually 50:50). The proper term for the mixture is "Coolant". I would say that "coolant" and "radiator fluid" are synonymous.

i have a 94 thunderbird and the same thing happens to me,the liquid your seeing is a creamy orange right? the seal between your radiator and your transmission is broke causeing the pressure to built up in your tranny making the liquid leak into your antifreeze....sorry to say but do what i did...buy a new radiator! its the only way to fix it!

The smell of burnt antifreeze, and white smoke?Several ways to check--easiest is above--also--while running--if pressure coming back to your radiator--pull cap and see if compression coming back into the radiator. Also--check your antifreeze and oil for contaminants.good luck


Can you add antifreeze to a car without flushing radiator?

Yes, you can add antifreeze / coolant to a car without flushing the radiator. It's best to use the same type that's already in your car / truck - conventional or long-life. Antifreeze / Coolant comes in 'Full Strength' which needs to be mixed with distilled water (usually 50/50 for mild weather regions, and more antifreeze 70/30 for really cold weather regions.) Also available is pre-mixed 50/50 antifreeze. PEAK Antifreeze & Coolant protects from -84 degrees to 276 degrees Fahrenheit when mixed 70/30. If it's been 2-3 years since a flush & fill for conventional antifreeze / radiator fluid, or 5 years for 'long life' antifreeze, it's likely time for a flush & fill.


Is fluid pressure the same thing as fluid dynamics?

No, it is not.


Why is the Jeep Grand Cherokee leaking transmission fluid from the radiator?

I wondered the same thing. The radiator doesn't only cool the engine coolant, It also cools the transmission fluid that comes from your transmission through the cooling lines. So your radiator has a crack somewhere and that would explain the transmission fluid leaking out. Hope that answers it. William @ JeepGrandCherokeeTransmission.com


Is transmission fluid the same as coolant?

No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
