Car antifreeze comes in many colors, red and green antifreeze and other colors of antifreeze cannot be mixed. The components in the red and green antifreeze are different. If we mix and add it, it will not only fail to work, but also cause problems such as engine failure.

Red and green antifreeze have different functions and functions. The main component of red antifreeze is propylene glycol, and the main component of green antifreeze is ethylene glycol. Green antifreeze is relatively easy to evaporate, and it is easy to catch fire. Generally, ordinary cars use green antifreeze, but high-performance cars are not suitable for this color of antifreeze. Red antifreeze is suitable for use in cold places and also for high-performance cars.

If we want to replace the car antifreeze, we need to put the original antifreeze out first, and then we can put the new antifreeze after the old antifreeze is completely removed. After joining, in order to ensure the normal operation of the car and adapt to the car, you can let the car run for another ten minutes, and then exhaust the air from the cooling system.

The car needs to add antifreeze, we need to replace the antifreeze according to the recommended replacement time in the user manual. When the weather is cold, the coolant can ensure that the oil in the car does not freeze and can be used normally. In hot weather, the coolant cools the engine. In addition, if you do not drive for a long time, you also need to check whether the antifreeze and other fluids in the car have expired.
