Do you keep your car running when adding antifreeze?
( NO ) with the engine cool

Does adding antifreeze to a car radiator increase the boiling point of the water in the radiator?

What happens when you put water in your antifreeze container?
You dilute your antifreeze. If you buy prediluted 50/50 antifreeze, then you'll dilute it more than you're supposed to. If you buy straight 100% antifreeze, you're actually supposed to dilute it yourself by adding an equal amount of water to the antifreeze you put it. Your vehicle will be fine. Stop freaking out. Get a coolant flush.
