    Summary. Two different brands of antifreeze can be mixed, but this must ensure that the color is the same, it is okay, for example, the two brands of antifreeze are red or green, this can be mixed, it has nothing to do with it. This can't be mixed in the case of different colors, and it can be used in the case of the same color, and you can add it directly without any problems, without any impact.

    Antifreeze of different car brands cannot be mixed. Antifreeze from different manufacturers cannot be mixed, and different "types" of antifreeze from the same manufacturer cannot be mixed. At present, most of the antifreeze on the market is ethylene glycol type, so the products of the same manufacturer, if they are non-ethylene glycol type, cannot be mixed.

    Different car brands of antifreeze cannot be mixed: 1. The name of antifreeze is antifreeze, but in fact, the most important technology is anti-corrosion and anti-scaling. Therefore, the formulas of different manufacturers are very different, and there are generally more than 5 kinds of additives.

    The additives of different manufacturers are different, and it is inevitable that there will be incompatibility, which means that there may be a chemical reaction of Beyoson. So try not to mix them.

    2. The expiration date of antifreeze is mostly two years (some products will be longer), and it should be confirmed that the product is within the expiration date when adding. Taxis must be replaced regularly, generally every two years or every 40,000 kilometers driven, and taxis should be replaced more frequently. When replacing, the old liquid should be cleaned, and the cooling system should be cleaned before being replaced; 3. Avoid using water, the traditional inorganic antifreeze can not be used with water, which will generate precipitation and seriously affect the normal function of the antifreeze.

    Organic antifreeze can be mixed with water, but not too much water.

    Different brands of antifreeze should not be mixed. Because different brands of antifreeze use different additives, if mixed, the additives in antifreeze are likely to have a chemical reaction with each other, so that the antifreeze loses its anti-corrosion and anti-scale functions, and may also produce precipitation, which has an impact on the cooling system.

    The main function of antifreeze is to prevent corrosion and limescale. Moreover, different brands of antifreeze have different freezing points, which may cause engine damage when mixed and used in changing weather.

    Precautions when using antifreeze:

    1. Try to use antifreeze of the same color of the same brand of the same sedan car, and different brands cannot be mixed.

    2. Antifreeze needs to be replaced regularly, and most family cars are replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Of course, this is only a reference replacement cycle, which can be replaced according to the actual use, like a taxi, it needs to be replaced more frequently.

    3. Antifreeze is not only antifreeze, so even if it is not winter, you should use antifreeze, do not add some ordinary water, otherwise it will cause oxidation and corrosion of some parts.

    Ford Focus.

    Changan Ford's special engine coolant and antifreeze are used.

    The specification is WSS-M97B44-D2.

    Principles for the purchase of antifreeze:

    1) Select the freezing point of the antifreeze according to the ambient temperature conditions. The freezing point of antifreeze is one of the most important indicators of antifreeze, and it is an important condition for whether antifreeze can be prevented. Under normal circumstances, the freezing point of antifreeze should be selected in the local environmental conditions, the minimum temperature in winter is -10 °C and 15 °C, if the local minimum temperature is -30 °C, the freezing point of antifreeze should be selected below -45 °C, you can choose the No. 3 antifreeze produced by Beijing Oleochemical Plant, or FG-40 antifreeze produced by Qingdao Daily Chemical Plant.

    If you want to choose ethylene glycol.

    The mother liquor can be prepared with ethylene glycol concentration of 59%, freezing point of -50 °C, and its density of cubic centimeters.

    of antifreeze. 2) Choose antifreeze according to the different requirements of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, imported vehicles, domestic production vehicles and high-end vehicles should use permanent antifreeze (2 3 years), ordinary vehicles can use direct use antifreeze, and demineralized water can be used in summer.

    3) Choose antifreeze according to the number of vehicles and the degree of concentration. Units and departments with more vehicles and relatively concentrated, can choose small packages of antifreeze mother liquor, this antifreeze mother liquor has stable performance, due to the use of small packaging, easy to transport and store, and at the same time can be flexibly modulated according to different environmental conditions and different work requirements to achieve the purpose of saving and practicality. If the vehicles are few or scattered, you can use antifreeze for direct use.

    4) Generally, antifreeze with anti-rust, anti-corrosion and descaling capabilities should be selected. The most important thing about antifreeze is to prevent rust. Therefore, it is advisable to choose brand-name products, which have preservatives added to them.

    Corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors and cleaning agents, product quality.

    5) Choose an antifreeze that matches the rubber sealed catheter. Antifreeze should be rubber-sealed catheter without swelling.

    and erosion, etc.

    Focus Motors does not specify the brand of antifreeze, and the antifreeze used varies from batch to batch. Different 4S stores use different brands, and 4S stores use different stages of different brands. Just choose the right antifreeze for your local temperature.

    Generally, the antifreeze temperature of antifreeze is 10 degrees Celsius lower than the local minimum temperature.

    In addition, antifreeze mainly depends on the ingredients, the southern areas that are not too cold can use the ethylene glycol type with a slightly higher freezing point, and the colder areas in the north can choose the alcohol type with a lower freezing point.

    There are the following types of antifreeze: antifreeze with ethylene glycol with water, antifreeze with alcohol and water, and antifreeze with glycerin and water.

    The boiling point of ethylene glycol is 197 4 degrees Celsius, the freezing point is 11 5 degrees Celsius, and the freezing point is significantly reduced after mixing with water, and the freezing point drops to 68 degrees Celsius at a concentration of 68.

    The boiling point of alcohol is 78 degrees Celsius, the freezing point drops to 114 degrees Celsius, and the concentration of more than 40 is easy to produce alcohol vapor and easy to ignite, and the freezing point is generally limited to about 30 degrees Celsius.

    The glycerin and water type has low efficiency in reducing freezing point, and the dosage is larger than the above two, so it should not be used.

    Notes:1Antifreeze is not always thicker. Automobile repair service stations usually use raw juice to add water, and the concentration is about 70 to make the antifreeze reach the best state. When the antifreeze is too thick or too thin, the antifreeze ability, fluidity, and heat dissipation will be reduced.

    2.Different types of antifreeze must not be mixed, so as not to cause chemical reactions, precipitation or bubbles, because the consequence of this is that it will cause damage to the rubber seal, usually causing water leakage at the water pump seal and welds. Therefore, after the leakage of antifreeze, the same brand of antifreeze should be replenished in time, and distilled water or purified water can be temporarily replenished when there is no antifreeze of the same brand.

    Add Mobil, antifreeze must not save money, be sure to add better.

    I heard a Ford 4S master say that although the later replacement is also the original one, it is still slightly worse than the factory filling of the new car.

Of course, it is not allowed to be mixed together, because the composition of each brand of antifreeze is different, and if it is mixed together, it is not good for the car, and it accelerates the consumption of the car, so it is best not to mix together.

The full name of antifreeze should be called antifreeze coolant, which means coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze prevents coolant from freezing and cracking radiators and freezing engine blocks or covers when the coolant freezes when parking in the cold winter. Many people think that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze is used all year round. >>>More
