Can antifreeze of different colors be mixed?

[StAsher]

Antifreeze of different colors cannot be mixed. It is necessary to use antifreeze from the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas, and if mixed, chemical reactions between multiple additives may occur, rendering the additives ineffective. Methods for selecting antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. The market offers antifreeze with freezing points such as -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Methods to determine if antifreeze is low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high engine temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Inspect the water level scale on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.
