What does theb antifreez do?
Antifreeze helps prevent a car's engine coolant from freezing in cold temperatures and also helps regulate the engine temperature in hot conditions. It prevents the cooling system from overheating or freezing, ultimately protecting the engine from damage.
2001 Toyota Camry your daughter has been driving the car for 2 days without antifreeze what damage can occur?
If no liquid in the cooling system, then the heads are probably warped and the engine is ruined. If running straight water and no antifreeze, then permanent damage unlikely unless the temps have been cold enough to freeze the water in the engine (popping the freeze plugs), or the engine has gotten hot enough to boil off the water in the cooling system. 50/50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze is necessary to prevent freezing, boil-over, and cooling system corrosion.
Why do you use antifreeze?
To prevent the coolant freezing, to help keep the system clean and prevent corrosion and to make the coolant more efficient in cooling the engine.
How much antifreeze does a 1938 volkswagen beetle hold?
Being an aircooled engine, the cooling medium is air .It does not need antifreeze
Why you use antifreeze?
To cool the engine in order to prevent overheating.
Is it safe to drive with a antifreeze leak?
Yes, IF the leak is not so severe as to overheat the engine. Any coolant leak needs to be repaired as soon as possible to prevent engine damage caused by overheating.
Does a 1997 Mercury mountaineer need antifreeze to cool the engine?
Yes , it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the cooling system . The antifreeze in the mixture provides freeze , boiling , and corrosion protection ( the corrosion protection does " wear out " ) The other parts in the engine cooling system , such as the water pump , engine thermostat , engine cooling fan , hoses etcetera also need to be working properly
What if car has no coolant antifreeze is empty what damage can it do?
The engine will overheat and can cause severe engine damage. The engine will be completely ruined if it is not immediately shut off.
Can you mix windshield washer fluid to the antifreeze?
no,you can damage engine gaskets
What do you mix antifreeze with?
In a vehicle engine cooling system : ( DISTILLED WATER is PREFERRED ) Usually mixed 50 / 50 with antifreeze , Ford states not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mix
What chemicals will damage an auto engine?
Antifreeze if you get an internal leak in your engine it could ruin the motor
What is the function of the cooling fan?
Keep the engine coolant or antifreeze from rising above its operational temperature.
