It has a much lower freezing point than water. if the coolant freezes it expands cauing pressure damage or even leaks.

It also contains anti corrosion chemicals to prevent rust inside the engine.

How do you change the antifreeze?

I have a 91 Ford escort that has two caps. one is on the radiator itself and one next to it that says coolant only. how do I know where the antifreeze goes? does a mixture of coolant and water go in the radiator or does only water go in radiator and coolant in the other one?

Can you add antifreeze to a car without flushing radiator?

Yes, you can add antifreeze / coolant to a car without flushing the radiator. It's best to use the same type that's already in your car / truck - conventional or long-life. Antifreeze / Coolant comes in 'Full Strength' which needs to be mixed with distilled water (usually 50/50 for mild weather regions, and more antifreeze 70/30 for really cold weather regions.) Also available is pre-mixed 50/50 antifreeze. PEAK Antifreeze & Coolant protects from -84 degrees to 276 degrees Fahrenheit when mixed 70/30. If it's been 2-3 years since a flush & fill for conventional antifreeze / radiator fluid, or 5 years for 'long life' antifreeze, it's likely time for a flush & fill.

What can antifreeze do to the boiling point of the water in a car's radiator?

Antifreeze raises the boiling point of water in a car's radiator by reducing the vapor pressure of the coolant mixture. This helps prevent the engine from overheating by allowing the coolant to operate at higher temperatures before boiling.


What is the special coolant used near radiator of a 2004 dodge 2500 turbo diesel?

I assume you are refering to the radiator overflow bottle. The required coolant is red 5 year antifreeze(not dexcool).


Why would you only get 2 quarts of antifreeze out of your radiator when there is supposed to be 11 quarts of fluid in the system?

Np, because most of your coolant is contained in the engine block. So when you drain your coolant from your radiator, most of the coolant will *remain* in the block.
