What else can I help you with?
Does adding antifreeze to a car radiator increase the boiling point of the water in the radiator?
Yes
Is adding antifreeze to your radiator a chemical or physical change?
Adding antifreeze to your radiator is a physical change because the antifreeze retains its chemical composition and properties when mixed with the water in the radiator. It does not undergo a chemical reaction to form a new substance.
Can i thaw the ice in my car radiator with antifreeze?
No. The antifreeze has to be mixed with the water before the water freezes.
Is the liquid in the radiator water?
50% water and 50% antifreeze.
How full should the radiator be filled with water?
You don't put water in your radiator, you put antifreeze.
Is it safe to top off a radiator with water?
Water can be used in an emergency but there is no corrosion protection like a mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( until the corrosion protection in the antifreeze is " worn out " ) Also , adding just straight water will dilute the antifreeze so the temperature at which the mixture freezes will not be as low
How do i add water to the radiator in a 2005 Malibu?
It is no longer necessary to add just water to a radiator in newer cars like the 2005 Malibu. An antifreeze that is half water and half antifreeze is usually best. Add the 50/50 antifreeze to the radiator overflow tank. It should be a plastic, see through tank hooked to the radiator.
Should you put antifreeze in radiator instead of water?
No If You Have A Chevy Venture Van Like I Do Just Shoot Your SelfA correct and useful answerAll modern cars require a coolant mixture of a specific antifreeze and water. In some warm climates the mixture is water and corrosion inhibitor's.YOU MUST add the correct mixture of water and antifreeze!
Where is the antifreeze located on your car?
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
Why is the water in car radiator rusty?
the water in your radiator is rusty because your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct. Antifreeze serves two important functions: protecting the cooling system at temperature extremes and inhibiting rust and corrosion in the system. When your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct Rust and sediment can accumulate in the cooling system. This can eventually clog your cooling system mainly your radiator and cause your car to overheat, and more serious problems with the over heating. I would suggest flushing your system and adding the correct antifreeze/water ratio mixture. Doing this your self or having it done by proffessional.
What is the perfect blend of water and antifreeze for your radiator?
50/50
What does adding antifreeze to water do?
It lowers the freezing point.
