Though coolant and antifreeze are often used interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Antifreeze is made of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and is the basic ingredient, but it has to be mixed with water to create coolant, which is the cocktail you will find in the cooling systems of all “water-cooled” vehicles.
Can you use antifreeze as a coolant?When you mix antifreeze with water it becomes coolant. But in the same way that chocolate syrup needs to be mixed with milk before it becomes chocolate milk, antifreeze is not coolant until you mix it with water. Point is, when you use antifreeze or coolant you are regulating the temperature of your engine.
What is coolant and is it the same as antifreeze?Coolant is the fluid that circulates through passages in the engine block to regulate heat. Many people wrongly refer to it as antifreeze. They are not the same thing, as you have to mix water and antifreeze to make coolant. The mixture makes water an efficient cooler, capable of absorbing and dissipating heat.
