Antifreeze helps your engine cool too. I thought everybody ran antifreeze year around. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 | Low-mid 20's in the mornings here in Cool-O-rado, Rusty.

I run anti-freeze all year for the anti rust protection plus as noted above it cools better than straight water.

A wetting agent can improve cooling, however. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | We've got six inches snow already. Went around and checked all the vehicles for antifreeze strength. It's got to be good for around -35. Get's alittle cold here in winter.

It raises the boiling point of water, which helps with cooling as the radiator won't boil over as easily, and it provides corrosion protection, which is very important for your radiator.
It's only dropping into the forties here and raining.
