A 50% water 50% antifreeze is recommended.
distilled water is recommended
Eethylene Glycol
Hard water can cause antifreeze color to change due to mineral deposits and impurities from the water being mixed with the antifreeze. This can result in the antifreeze appearing darker or discolored. It is recommended to use distilled water when mixing antifreeze to avoid color changes and ensure optimal performance.
The antifreeze/water mixture is too weak for the conditions or you have engine oil or trans fluid mixing with it
Antifreeze can be added to a toilet to prevent freezing by mixing it with water in the tank or bowl. This helps lower the freezing point of the water, preventing it from solidifying in cold temperatures.
Any substance that lowers the freezing point of water such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol which are commonly added to water
For a Daihatsu Fourtrak, the typical coolant capacity is around 10 liters (about 2.6 gallons). When mixing antifreeze, a common recommendation is to use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, which means you would need about 5 liters (1.3 gallons) of antifreeze and 5 liters of water. Always consult the owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the coolant type is suitable for your vehicle.
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
The 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora typically has a cooling system capacity of around 12 quarts (or about 3 gallons) of coolant, which includes antifreeze. When mixing antifreeze with water, a common ratio is 50/50, so you would need approximately 6 quarts of antifreeze and 6 quarts of water for a complete fill. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific recommendations and check for any variations based on engine type or modifications.
Antifreeze is typically denser than water, so it will sink when added to water.
Coolant mixtures are not usually vehicle or engine specific. They are usually more related to your operating environment. Most vehicle manufacturers and antifreeze brands seem to recommend a minimum of 50/50 antifreeze/water mixture and a maximum of 70/30 antifreeze/water. The hotter, or colder, the operating environment is, the greater the portion of antifreeze should be (up to the maximum recommended, usually 70% antifreeze). Check with your local Dodge dealer for their recommended mix for your area.
No. The antifreeze has to be mixed with the water before the water freezes.
