Liquid antifreeze and cooling liquid

Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is a yellow or green liquid that is mixed with water in cars, trucks, and other vehicles to keep radiators from freezing or overheating.

The antifreeze and cooling liquid are made from either ethylene glycol or propylene glycol to enable the liquid to change the freezing and boiling points of the water. For example, when mixing an amount equal to the amount of water in the radiator of the car, the water does not freeze at 0 degrees, but at temperatures below 2 degrees below zero. While water alone usually boils at 100 ° C, the boiling temperature rises to 106 ° C when mixed with an equal amount of antifreeze.

Check the levels of antifreeze and liquid cooling in your car

Check your car manual to see if you should check the antifreeze and coolant levels frequently. If the engine oil is changed by a professional mechanic, he can also check and adjust the levels of antifreeze and coolant or add more if necessary.

• Park the car on a level ground and open the bonnet, making sure that the car is not running for a long time or that it is overheated.
• Locate the cooling tank - usually in the form of a transparent plastic tub with a colored liquid (illustrated later) with a "danger-hot" warning sign or something similar.
• On the side of the cooling tank there is a scale of "Min" and "Max" just like in the brake fluid tank. The coolant level must be within these tolerances.
