Running antifreeze, or coolant, helps regulate an engine's temperature by preventing overheating. It has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than water, allowing it to maintain optimal operating temperatures in various conditions. Additionally, antifreeze contains additives that protect against corrosion and improve heat transfer, further aiding in engine cooling. Overall, using the proper coolant is essential for efficient engine performance and longevity.
