We will break it down for you to better understand why this liquid comes in a multitude of colors. This can be confusing for people who don’t know what each color indicates. How many types of coolant liquids are available?Ĭoolant (Antifreeze) can be found in more than 1 color. Another option is just to simply ask the mechanic to test your coolant efficiency before winter settles in. This can be found at any car shop/parts store or online. One should not forget to change their coolant because in the winter time, the engine can suffer irremediable damage.Ĭoolant (Antifreeze) liquid is tested using a device called an Antifreeze/Coolant Tester. This is in theory, however in real world conditions, regardless of it’s quality, coolant (antifreeze) should be changed once every 2-5 years (average time after which it loses much of its benefits, unless specifically formulated as ‘lifetime’ on the bottle). Theoretically it should be good for an indefinite period. How often should the coolant liquid be changed? If foam appears, the cooling system’s efficiency might be reduced) (Coolant has special additives in it that prevents foam from forming. (Prevents limestone deposits and others similar to it which could reduce the cooling system’s efficiency) (The fluid will not attack the metals it comes in contact with and it won’t destroy it over time) However, besides these well known benefits, there are also others worth mentioning: Also protects the engine from freezing during winter. Has the role of helping the engine to cool in the summer time (it keeps the engine from boiling over). Coolant in the summer time works as an anti-boil and protects the system components from corrosion, which is a big deal especially with aluminum components. It lowers the freeze point of the coolant to protect it from freezing, even in the worst winter conditions. This is the reason coolant is mixed with distilled water in a minimum 50/50 proportion.

Also in wintertime, water solidifies (freezes) and expands in volume which can crack your engine block, radiator and heater cores. In the summer time, cooling can be obtained using plain water in an emergency situation although not recommended much beyond this since it’s much easier to boil over as well. If an engine is used without coolant (antifreeze), it can suffer extended damage especially during winter. Not many know the importance of the different colors that are available today.
