So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running.
Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.
antifreeze antifreeze a fifty fifty micture of water and antifrez is best
antifreeze keeps your car from overheating, it flows thru your radiator hose, without it your motor would blow
Yes. The antifreeze/coolant also raises the boiling point and has lubricant and anti corrosive properties.
All the time
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
Antifreeze is a substance such as glycol which is used to lower the freezing point of water, and is used as an additive in the radiators of motorcars.
You mix it with water.
No, it is not recommended to put salt water in a car radiator as it can lead to corrosion and damage to the radiator, water pump, and other components of the cooling system. It is best to use a coolant mixture of water and antifreeze specifically designed for car radiators.
In most vehicles, a mixture of water and antifreeze (ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) is used as the liquid in radiators. This mixture helps to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent freezing or boiling over.

In the coolant reservoir when the engine is cool.
