To clean dried coolant off an engine, begin by ensuring the engine is completely cool to avoid burns. Wear protective gloves and glasses for safety. Dilute automotive degreaser with water (following the product’s instructions) to safely break down the coolant residue without damaging engine components. Apply the mixture using a spray bottle to specifically target the affected areas, avoiding any electrical parts. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the dried coolant. For stubborn deposits, letting the solution sit for a few minutes might help. Afterward, rinse the area thoroughly with water, making sure not to douse electrical components. A low-pressure water stream is preferable to prevent forceful water from damaging sensitive parts. Finally, dry the area with a clean cloth or air blow gently to remove any remaining moisture. Regularly cleaning your engine not only helps in maintaining its appearance but also allows for easier identification of leaks and prevents the buil...

Q can you add coolant when engine is hot

It is generally not recommended to add coolant to a hot engine. When an engine is hot, its cooling system is under pressure, and opening the radiator cap or coolant reservoir can release scalding hot coolant and steam, posing a significant risk of burns. Instead, it’s safer to wait until the engine has cooled down, which can take at least 30 minutes. If you must add coolant when the engine is warm, exercise extreme caution. Make sure the engine is not hot, and slowly open the radiator cap with a towel to protect your hand, releasing any built-up pressure gradually. However, the best practice is to check and top off coolant levels when the engine is cool, typically before starting the vehicle for the first time that day. This approach minimizes the risk of injury and ensures accurate fluid level assessment, helping maintain your vehicle’s cooling system effectively.

Q is engine coolant the same thing as antifreeze

Yes, engine coolant and antifreeze are the same thing. When a fluid helps maintain engine temperature to prevent overheating, the fluid is often referred to as coolant. When it protects the engine from freezing at low temperatures, it is called antifreeze. However, the fluid itself is the same. The full name of antifreeze should be called antifreeze coolant, which means coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator and freezing the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking. Many people think that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze is used all year round.
