hey thanks for your page it helps out a ton =) The correct answer would be ....... ( C ) A Hydrometer.
Yes and no. Water is an excellent coolant but does not have all the properties of antifreeze. Water provides no freeze protection or corrosion resistance.
Toyota recommends its own red coolant. any automotive antifreeze will work. it should be mixed with water (50/50) and checked for freeze protection. -34 deg. Fahrenheit is ideal.
No, but you do need the full 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water to get the maximum cooling and freeze protection.
Vehicle may overheat (low coolant) Engine may freeze in cold weather (protection from freezing not adequate)
The coolant used for a 206 GTI is a mixture. This mixture is Glysantin 33 anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitors mixed with an equal amount of water.
Genuine Honda Anti-Freeze/Coolant - Type 2 orHonda Extreme Cold Weather Anti-Freeze/Coolant - Type 2 Concentrate provides protection up to -62 degrees F.With Genuine Honda anti freeze, you do not have to add water; contains no silicate and borates, which keep deposits from corroding the aluminum.
Yes, depending on temperature difference and capacity of the coolant, amount of water temperature of water ... etc.
If the cooling system just has straight water in it , there is no corrosion protection for the cooling system , water pump , head gaskets etc , the engine '"coolant " can freeze or boil easier , if the coolant system freezes and the core plugs in the engine block don't do there job , the engine block can crack etc
water, anti freeze or coolant.
DO NOT TEST HOT COOLANT -- YOU COULD GET BADLY HURT, SINCE THE COOLING SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE WHEN HOT! NEVER OPEN A HOT COOLING SYSTEM (radiator cap, expansion tank/coolant reservoir, hoses etc!) With a cold engine, use a "coolant tester," which is an inexpensive device that lets you sample your coolant and that allows you to determine the "specific gravity" of the coolant. The device may utilize a floating needle or colored balls that correlate to a scale showing the level of protection against freezing. You can get a coolant tester at any automotive supply shop. When mixing G12 coolant concentrate with water (ideally demineralized and distilled), the proper ratio is 1:1 for a VW or Audi operated in a moderate climate. The ratio may be changed between 40% coolant + 60% water (best protection against boiling) and 60% coolant + 40% water (best anti freeze protection).
It is called anti freeze.
Your 1999 Toyota Corolla can use any SAE certified anti-freeze coolant. The anti-freeze coolant can be mixed half-and-half with water.
