It can make the color lighter, but this does not affect the antifreeze function.

today's antifreeze is very much standardized. color has nothng to do with it's content and function. you go to any auto supplier buy a standard antifreeze and follow the instruction will give you a new fill of antifreeze.
Keep the engine coolant or antifreeze from rising above its operational temperature.
Yes and no, the function of antifreeze is to provide a much lower freezing point in winter and higher boiling point in the summer. Antifreeze also provides additives to prevent internal corrosion of engine components. Newer cars may overheat if you try and run water alone.
Straight antifreeze ( ethylene glycol ) freezes at 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit / -13 degrees celsius - it has to be mixed with preferably distilled water to provide proper protection for the automotive cooling system ( freezing / boiling / and corrosion protection ) and for the temperature sensors / water pump / radiator etc to function correctly . Ford recommends not dropping below 40 % antifreeze and not exceeding 60 % antifreeze to prevent damage to the cooling system
Anti-freeze disburses heat produced by the engine (via radiator), thus preventing engine from overheating and allowing it to properly function.
seriously? it tells you what temperature you engine coolant/antifreeze is. that is how your gauge on the dash knows what your temperature is at.
There is no clear colored antifreeze.
no, why would it have antifreeze?
Antifreeze is molecular.
Antifreeze is a poison. It can kill you.
