Can red and blue antifreeze be used together?

[DeJustin]

Different colors should not be mixed randomly, and they should never be mixed with other maintenance fluids like windshield washer fluid. Here is some relevant information about antifreeze: 1. Antifreeze has five functions: cooling, antifreeze, anticorrosion, lubrication, and cleaning. Among these, the primary functions are antifreeze and cooling, which maintain the engine at normal operating temperatures and prevent freezing in extremely cold weather. To meet these working conditions, antifreeze is manufactured with various combinations of ingredients and additives. 2. During the manufacturing process, manufacturers add different colored dyes to antifreeze to distinguish between different formulations. This serves not only to remind users that antifreeze is toxic and should not be ingested but also to warn against mixing different types. Different colors represent different formulations, and when antifreeze of different formulations is mixed, the chemical stability of the mixture may change once the engine reaches high operating temperatures. This can lead to reduced cooling and antifreeze performance, corrosion or crystallization in the cooling system, and in some cases, even the release of toxic gases.
