For best results you have to mix antifreeze and water. Check the antifreeze container for correct mixture.

This girlfriend put a gallon of antifreeze in the engine block is the engine destroyed or can it be fixed?
No worries, a few dollars from the wallet, perhaps, but not the thousands a new engine could cost. Do not drive the vehicle with that much antifreeze in the oil. Drain the oil, replace the oil and filter. Now drive around for a while (a day or two normal driving, assuming it's enough to get the engine up to normal operating temperatures). Replace the oil and filter again. This should be sufficient to cleanse the antifreeze from the system, but watch for white or antifreeze colored foam on the oil dipstick indicating the continued presence of water or antifreeze in the oil, in which case, replace the oil and filter again.
