What the meanig of «Antifreeze color»?


Color is given to antifreeze by dyes specially added to the coolant. This is done to make it easy to distinguish antifreeze from other operating fluids and to determine if the cooling system is leaking if it is damaged. And though there are some tendencies of linking antifreeze color with its operational properties (life time), they are mostly of a marketing nature. When choosing antifreeze, the first thing to pay attention to is its compliance with the requirements of car manufacturers, industry, state and other standards.
