I do not know you have not found the owner, not frequent replacement of antifreeze on the car, in the market there are a variety of colors, green, blue, red, yellow and so on. That's when replacing antifreeze, in the end choose which color? Today, just like everyone to talk about this topic.
What is the role of frozen liquid is?
Full name antifreeze antifreeze coolant, so some people call her antifreeze, coolant and some people call it. Antifreeze is a very important thing for temperature control guarantee the normal operation of the engine.
To maintain a temperature of the engine 80 to 90, in order to properly play the best level. However, the fuel inside the engine combustion, certainly higher than this temperature, so, antifreeze first role is to prevent the engine temperature is too high, it should when the engine is overheating of the heat conduction out. In the winter, cold weather, we should let the engine quickly reaches its normal operating temperature, it will play an antifreeze to the engine insulation effect.
Why antifreeze There are so many colors?
This saying composition and function relationships, antifreeze mainly obtained by mixing three ingredients: water, antifreeze, and additives. The main difference in this antifreeze agents, is generally three kinds, alcohol type, glycol type, glycerin type. These three antifreeze color will be somewhat different, such as ethylene glycol is green, glycerin type is blue, the second is different freezing cold is not the same.
Although the color of antifreeze will affect the color of antifreeze, but the color does not explain how its composition, and in the end what color is better, therefore, does not need to tangle on the color of antifreeze at the time of purchase.
You can add antifreeze mix?
Can not! Different brands, different freezing point, different colors, can not mix plus. Although some antifreeze main ingredient is the same, however, they do not ignore the minor component, a chemical reaction occurs after mixing is possible, first of freezing will vary, In addition, the gum base may generate corrosive and chemical reactions, the cooling system and can cause engine damage.
Finally, to remind car owners, antifreeze or 30,000 km every two years time will be replaced. This will ensure the normal operation of the engine.
