What else can I help you with?
What does antifreeze do to the car in the winter?
Antifreeze keeps your coolant from freezing. It keeps your coolant more "fluid".
Can running out of antifreeze ruin an engine?
antifreeze does two things. It keeps the water in the radiator from freezing in the winter, and helps prevent if from boiling over and evaporating in the summer. You can run your vehicle with water alone in moderate temperatures and it will do the job. But, if you mean by "running out of antifreeze" you mean there is no liquid in the radiator, then yes, your vehicle can overheat and ruin the engine.
How does an antifreeze work?
it keeps you warm.
Does antifreeze get hot when the motor is running?
Yes
Do you keep your car running when adding antifreeze?
( NO ) with the engine cool
Which facts about the use of antifreeze illustrates a rule that governs the physical world?
Antifreeze keeps water from freezing when it is cold out. The antifreeze liquid lowers the freezing point of the water. Even when freezing (to a slurry) it does not form solid ice that can rupture the radiator. The antifreeze combines the water to form a liquid with a lower freezing point than water alone.
Do you need antifreeze in the summer too?
Anti-freeze also raises the boiling point of the water and keeps the engine running cooler and unless you live in South Florida you won't have to worry when the weather get's cooler.
Why do you add antifreeze to your car?
Antifreeze does 2 things. First it protects your engine when the outside temperature is below freezing and the vehicle is not running. If the coolant freezes it could crack your engine block requiring a new engine. Caution: 100% antifreeze will also freeze up if it gets too cold. For best results you have to mix antifreeze and water. Check the antifreeze container for correct mixture. Antifreeze also has other things in it that keeps the water pump in good shape, prevents corrosion of the the radiator and helps transfer heat out of the engine. You need it even in hot weather.
Why so people put antifreeze in car radiators?
antifreeze keeps your car from overheating, it flows thru your radiator hose, without it your motor would blow
Antifreeze leaks out when you pour into radiator?
Find where it is running out and repair the cause.
Can you add antifreeze to your radiator which has been running on water only?
yes you can?
My 1996 Dodge Intrepid running hot I change the themostat and fresh antifreeze?
you can remove the therostat as long as you do not need heat. the water runs through and keeps it cool. check the water every four days it will use more.
