Adding the wrong color of antifreeze does matter. Here are some related introductions about antifreeze: 1. There are three colors of antifreeze. The main components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is generally green, propylene glycol is red with a bit of orange, and diethylene glycol is blue. 2. The main function of antifreeze is to protect the normal and good operation of the engine. It circulates in the engine radiator to provide antifreeze, anti-boil, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion effects. The color of antifreeze is red or green to observe whether there is leakage or to distinguish it from other engine liquids to avoid confusion. 3. Choose antifreeze according to the different requirements of the vehicle. Imported vehicles, domestically produced vehicles, and mid-to-high-end vehicles should choose permanent antifreeze (2-3 years).
