Yes, using the wrong coolant can potentially damage the engine. Different coolants have varying chemical compositions that can lead to corrosion, reduce heat transfer efficiency, or create sludge. This can result in overheating, engine wear, or even catastrophic failure if not addressed. It's essential to use the manufacturer's recommended coolant type to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.

How does the engine coolant does this work?

When the engine heats up to a certain temperature, the thermostat opens up and lets the coolant flow through the engine. Heat from the engine is absorbed by the coolant, which then cycles back to the radiator. Heat from the coolant is exchanged to the air which flows through the radiator fins, thus causing the coolant to rapidly cool down.
