Can Antifreeze Be Mixed and Added?
1 Answers
Antifreeze cannot be mixed and added. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas. If mixed and added, chemical reactions are likely to occur among the various additives, rendering them ineffective. If the original antifreeze cannot be added, it is necessary to completely drain the old fluid during replacement, thoroughly clean the cooling system, and then add new fluid. Different brands and vehicle models use different types of antifreeze. Some antifreeze is green, while others are purple, with varying freezing and boiling points. Once mixed, the components may interact, potentially causing damage to the engine.
