Is Antifreeze Vehicle-Specific?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is not vehicle-specific; it is classified by freezing point and boiling point, not by vehicle model. Standard antifreeze can typically withstand temperatures down to -40°C, while premium antifreeze can reach approximately -60°C, which is a key indicator of its quality. Water boils at 100°C, whereas antifreeze should have a boiling point of at least 108°C, with high-quality variants exceeding 110°C. Essentially, the lower the freezing point, the higher the boiling point. Antifreeze is a specially formulated coolant designed for liquid-cooled engine systems, offering excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion.
