The red antifreeze of the original car is changed to green. Can two red antifreezes be mixed?

Recently, a lot of car owners have come to ask the editor, if their original car had red antifreeze, what would be the consequences of changing the green antifreeze now? In fact, there is no problem in replacing the green antifreeze with the red antifreeze, but the premise is that when the red antifreeze is drained, make sure that the red antifreeze has been cleaned up, then there will be nothing to change the green antifreeze.

Can two red antifreeze be mixed?

The two red antifreeze cannot be mixed. Although the two antifreezes have the same color and the same main components, it cannot be said that they are exactly the same. After all, in addition to the main components, there will be some additives. The additives of the two red antifreezes are different, and the formulas will also be different. When the additives and formulas of both sides are mixed, chemical reactions may occur, resulting in precipitation or air bubbles in the water tank where the antifreeze is stored, which will cause damage to the cooling system and rubber seals. In severe cases, impurities will 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.
