Can you put water where anti freeze goes?
Only Use Water In The Radiator In An Emergency While it’s ideal to add a 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed coolant), if you absolutely have to keep driving, you can add water to the radiator to get you to your destination. Let the engine cool down before you remove the coolant reservoir cap.
What should you do if your car has antifreeze in it?
Yep, do nothing. Well, do nothing for about an hour or so. This is because, as we said above, antifreeze and engine oil do not mix well! So if you leave the car alone for just an hour or so, the antifreeze will sink to the bottom of the oil sump.
What do you need to know about the antifreeze code?
Material Safety Data Sheet ANTIFREEZE Code Reactivity Health Hazard Fire Hazard 0 Personal Protection H 1 2* Section I. Chemical Product and Company Identification Material Safety Data Sheet NFPA Protective Clothing Product Name Synonym ANTIFREEZE Code
What happens when you put anti freeze in your oil?
This protects the cooling system itself from damage (say from burst frozen pipes) and also plays a huge part in helping the engine remove excess heat. When the two liquids meet, they do not play well. The anti-freeze will stop the engine oil bonding effectively with the engine parts.
Where does antifreeze go in an internal combustion engine?
Antifreeze, poured into the radiator, keeps an engine cool. Antifreeze, also known as engine coolant, is a liquid substance that circulates through an internal combustion engine and draws off excessive heat.

What was antifreeze called in the good old days?
In the “good old days”, meaning the 1940’s through the mid 1950’s, we had two types of antifreeze. There was permanent antifreeze and an antifreeze strictly for winter use. DuPont’s permanent antifreeze was called “Zerex” and the non-permanent antifreeze was called “Zerone” As I remember, the Zerone would boil at 180 degrees.

What’s the difference between IAT and Zerex Antifreeze?
It’s important to know the differences so you get the correct antifreeze for your vehicle. The most common variety of liquid antifreeze is an IAT formula, or Inorganic Additive Technology. ZEREX™ Original Green is an IAT coolant that has been used for decades and is a formula proven to provide unsurpassed corrosion protection.
