Can antifreeze of different colors be used together?
1 Answers
Antifreeze of different colors cannot be used together. The reason is that antifreeze from different brands, manufacturers, and colors may have significant differences in their internal chemical properties, such as variations in formula components and adaptability to different environments. Mixing them could lead to chemical reactions that produce sediments, bubbles, corrosive substances, etc., which may harm the engine. Mixing antifreeze of different colors might cause internal chemical reactions due to the differences in various additives, rendering the functions of these additives ineffective. Antifreeze has multiple features, including antifreeze, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and defoaming, and can be used regardless of season or region. Freezing point and boiling point are the basic indicators of antifreeze.
