Antifreeze is not only necessary for cold weather; it also plays a crucial role in hot weather by raising the boiling point of the coolant and preventing engine overheating. It helps protect the engine from corrosion and improves its overall efficiency. However, it's essential to use the correct mixture of antifreeze and water, typically a 50/50 ratio, to ensure optimal performance in both hot and cold conditions.
Dexcool is recommended.
anti-freeze is recommended for use in the cooling system
Any brand of antifreeze can be used in a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer. It is recommended that a person uses 50 50 antifreeze.
distilled water is recommended
depending if you live in mainly cold or hot weather area, cold weather-- use a 50-50 dexcool [orange liquid] straight in backup tank and 50% antifreeze/50% water in radiator, do not add water to backup tank. Hot weather-- [my recommendation] use a 50-50 dexcool [orange liquid] straight in backup tank [no water], and 20% antifreeze/80% water plus add liquid called waterwetter [pink liquid] to radiator, this will greatly keep engine running cooler by almost 15-20 degrees
50% water, and 50% antifreeze, winter and summer. Depending where you live if you're in a hot climate like arizona. You can do a 30% antifreeze and 70% water. But always make sure you use the correct type of coolant that the manufacturer recommends
50% antifreeze/50% water is recommended for most conditions. Use of DEXCOOL-approved coolant is NOT recommended.
They adapt by getting use to the hot weather and they know their way around to get there.:]
You want to use a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze, but use the manufacture recommended antifreeze, it comes straight anti freeze in which case you would mix a gallon of antifreeze to a gallon of water or you can buy a pre mixed container of antifreeze if your just trying to top off
Antifreeze is not car specific as much as it is weather specific. look for the antifreeze that will work with your coldest weather to do exactly what it does which is prevents freezing. make sure to mix it 50/50 with water by dividing your radiator capacity in 1/2. many companies like prestone make premixed antifreeze as well I'm sorry but antifreeze is made for specific cars use what is compatible with your car or truck It uses regular Green.
an instrument use to measure hot weather is and electronic maximum - minimum temperature sensor or MMTS for short.
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.
