What is the difference between antifreeze red and green?Consequences of mixing red and green antifreeze

Antifreeze has different colors, because the ingredients are different, use various colors as a distinction to avoid mistaken addition and mixed addition. The red antifreeze is mainly composed of propylene glycol, while the green antifreeze is mainly composed of ethylene glycol. There is also blue antifreeze, its main ingredient is diethylene glycol.

Consequences of mixing red and green antifreeze

After the red antifreeze is mixed with the green antifreeze, because the main components of the two are different, a chemical reaction may occur, resulting in precipitation or air bubbles in the water tank where the antifreeze is stored, causing damage to the cooling system and rubber seals. Seriously At times, impurities will also be generated to block the cooling system pipes. After the cooling system pipeline is blocked, the antifreeze will not be able to play its effect normally, and the engine will not be able to dissipate heat in time, which will cause wear and tear.

If the vehicle's antifreeze is insufficient, the antifreeze fault light will light up on the instrument panel. When the fault light is on, it is necessary to add antifreeze in time. Car owners should not wait until the fault light is on before adding antifreeze. They can regularly check whether the antifreeze in the antifreeze backup tank is lacking, or whether there is a problem with the antifreeze. If the color of the antifreeze is wrong, the effect will not be good. Yes, it is necessary to replace the antifreeze in time.

The car coolants on the market are generally general-purpose, generally 4 liters or 2 kilograms, and the price of car coolants is basically 60 to 100 yuan.YuanA bottle around.
