How to Make Car Engine Coolant

Engine coolant is a vital fluid that helps keep your car’s engine running smoothly. It prevents the engine from overheating by absorbing heat and transferring it to the radiator, where it can be dissipated. Coolant also helps to lubricate the water pump and other engine components.

Most car engines use a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water. However, some engines may require a different ratio of coolant to water. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for the recommended coolant mixture for your car.

Materials

• 1 gallon of distilled water
• 1 gallon of antifreeze/coolant
• Mixing bucket
• Funnel

Instructions

1. Pour the distilled water into the mixing bucket.
2. Add the antifreeze/coolant to the mixing bucket.
3. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
4. Pour the mixture into the car’s radiator using a funnel.
5. Replace the radiator cap.

Tips

• Use distilled water to prevent the formation of scale and deposits in the cooling system.
• Change the coolant according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule.
• Never add pure antifreeze/coolant to the cooling system. This can cause the coolant to become too concentrated and damage the engine.
• If you have any questions about how to make or change your car’s engine coolant, consult a qualified mechanic.
