Can Antifreeze and Water Be Mixed?

[SanDonovan]

Antifreeze and water should not be mixed. Most antifreeze products available on the market are already pre-mixed with water and can be directly added to the car's radiator for use, so no further adjustment is needed. Otherwise, the higher the proportion of water, the higher the temperature the antifreeze can withstand, making it less suitable for low-temperature conditions. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing when the vehicle is parked in cold winter, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant, and it is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year.
