A 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water
Typically yes. A 50% mix each of clean water and straight antifreeze is recommended for protection to -34 degrees F. You should have the present coolant tested to see where you are protected to and add accordingly.
The freezing point of pure coolant, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, is typically around -34°C to -37°C (-29°F to -34°F).
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.
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.
A 50/50 mix of coolant and water generally gives you protection down to 30 degrees below 0 F.
The type of coolant to use on a Ford 7.3 diesel is Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Motorcraft Gold provides optimal protection for the engine.
For a 1994 Jaguar XJ6, it is recommended to use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant that meets the specifications of Jaguar's own coolant or equivalent. Ensure that the coolant is mixed with distilled water in a 50:50 ratio for optimal performance and protection against corrosion. Additionally, look for coolant that provides freeze and boil-over protection suitable for the climate in which you operate the vehicle. Always check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations.
It should offer protection to about -34
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).
50% Anti-freeze and 50% clean water is generally used for engine coolant. This mix protects the cooling system from freezing down to -34 degrees F.
Go to autozone & buy a $10 guage, Open the radiator when cold, Fill guage up with coolant & just read the level on the guage.
Fix the coolant leak.Chances are the water pump has a problem. They were known for having a leak and with no coolant you have no cooling.But you may have a coolant leak elsewhere also. Your cooling system will need to be checked out.
