Are Antifreeze and Coolant the Same?

[Doreen]

Coolant and antifreeze are the same, with no difference. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant. More information about the function of antifreeze is as follows: 1. Prevent freezing when the vehicle is not started, because antifreeze is in the cylinder block, and the liquid turning into a solid will expand in volume, thus freezing and cracking the cylinder block; 2. Cool the engine after the vehicle is started to prevent the engine temperature from being too high, which can cause engine damage. Extension: Long-term failure to replace antifreeze will lead to changes in the quality of the antifreeze, reducing its internal anti-rust quality, and the radiator, pipelines, etc. will be damaged. It will also affect the boiling point and freezing point parameters, affecting the antifreeze or cooling effect, causing damage to the engine. Do not wait until the antifreeze turns black to replace it. Black antifreeze proves that the antifreeze has deteriorated for a long time.
