Is Car Coolant the Same as Antifreeze?
1 Answers
Car coolant is not entirely the same as antifreeze. Coolant is equivalent to water plus antifreeze. Water is a low-grade coolant and is subject to seasonal limitations. Antifreeze includes coolant, but coolant does not include antifreeze. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. It protects the engine's cooling system, improves heat dissipation, enhances engine efficiency, and extends service life. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion all year round.
