Can Antifreeze Cause Overheating?

[ArcherLynn]

Antifreeze can cause overheating, so it is necessary to check the cooling system for leaks, such as in the water pump or radiator. When filling antifreeze, air may be trapped in the antifreeze lines, and the antifreeze level will drop once the air is expelled. If the engine burns water, such as when the engine head gasket is damaged, it may burn antifreeze, and replacing the head gasket will resolve the issue. High coolant temperature in the cooling system can cause boiling, leading to antifreeze being expelled, so the cause of the high temperature must be checked. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It provides excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round. It can be used in cars, diesel locomotives, tractors, ships, engines, radiators, and various mechanical equipment.
