Is Car Antifreeze Universal?

[JaydenFitz]

Car antifreeze is not universal. It is best not to mix antifreeze (coolant) from different brands and models to avoid failure due to differences in chemical composition. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are freezing point and boiling point. The freezing points of antifreeze available on the market include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose one with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Precautions for replacing antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe gets its name from having five connections to different parts. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any sign of antifreeze leakage in this part, the water pipe should be replaced or the connection should be re-secured based on the situation.
