Anti-freeze liquid (coolant): its definition and tips for using it in the winter
Whether during the coldest days, when the outside temperature drops to 6 below zero, your engine revs, or on hot days when the temperature reaches 40 degrees, your car travels on the highway without the risk of overheating, so what is the factor? Who helps with that?
Anti-freeze liquid and coolant
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.
Antifreeze and coolant are made from either ethylene glycol or propylene glycol to enable the fluid to change the freezing and boiling points of water. For example, when you mix an equal amount of water in a car's radiator, the water does not freeze at 0 degrees, but rather at temperatures below 2 degrees below zero. While water alone usually boils at 100 degrees, the boiling point rises to 106 degrees when mixed in an equal amount with antifreeze liquid.

Check your car's antifreeze and coolant levels
You can check your car's manual to find out how often you should check the antifreeze and coolant levels. If the car's engine oil is changed by a qualified mechanic, he or she can also check the levels of antifreeze and coolant and adjust them or add more if necessary.
- Park the car on flat ground and open the hood, making sure that the car is not running for a long time or if its temperature is high.
- Locate the coolant tank - this is usually a clear plastic tub containing colored liquid (explained later) with a warning sign "Danger - Hot" or something similar.
- On the side of the coolant reservoir there is a "Min" and "Max" scale just like the brake fluid reservoir. The coolant level must be within these tolerances.
