It’s January, it’s cold throughout much of the U.S. (the high temperature in most of the country is below 50 degrees as I write this) and antifreeze is hard at work keeping motorists warm and on the road.
Most drivers don’t know much about antifreeze other than it’s thick green stuff you pour in your radiator to keep the car engine from over-heating. It also helps heat the passenger compartment. If the amount of anti-freeze is too low, steam often billows from under the hood and the car interior doesn’t get very warm. The typical remedy for this situation is to buy more antifreeze, pour it in the radiator and hope for the best.
