Engine coolant, also known as antifreeze, helps regulate the temperature of your engine as the weather changes from hot to cold. That said, there is a slight difference between these two solutions. Namely, antifreeze is a concentration of ethylene or propylene glycol that needs to be mixed with water, whereas coolant is antifreeze that has already been mixed with water, meaning it's ready to use.

There are different types of coolants on the market. To choose the right antifreeze, it's important to read the owner's manual for your car so that you can find out what variety is right for your vehicle. In other words, you need to make sure to choose the right antifreeze for your car and its specific engine.

Why does my car need coolant?

Antifreeze fluid is one of the most important fluids for your vehicle. This is true whether you have a car, truck, or SUV. In fact, this fluid is necessary to ensure that your car's engine temperature is adequate at all times. Automotive antifreeze ensures your car will keep running in the summer and winter. Without antifreeze, your engine would suffer irreparable damage.

How often you should change your car's coolant depends on the brand, mileage, and age of the vehicle. It's important to check your engine coolant, especially when temperatures are extreme. To check your coolant levels, you simply need to pop your hood, locate your coolant reservoir, and check the markings.

You can change your car's coolant yourself or have it changed by a professional. If you decide to do the job yourself, make sure to keep these guidelines in mind:
