Are Car Coolant and Antifreeze the Same?

[VanOwen]

Car coolant and antifreeze are not the same. Coolant is equivalent to water plus antifreeze. Water is a low-grade coolant and is seasonally limited, while antifreeze includes coolant, but coolant does not include antifreeze. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze function. It can protect the engine's cooling system, improve heat dissipation, enhance engine efficiency, and extend service life. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent performance features such as preventing freezing in winter, preventing boiling in summer, and offering year-round protection against scale and corrosion.
