Q: How does one refill Antifreeze and coolant in a vehicle? How does one stop Engine from overheating and damage?
A: As shown in the video
***
Applications: Engine Coolant - 50-50 Prediluted Anti Freeze & Coolant
***
Relevant Background: "An antifreeze is an additive which lowers the freezing point of a water-based liquid. An antifreeze mixture is used to achieve freezing-point depression for cold environments. Common antifreezes increase the boiling point of the liquid, allowing higher coolant temperature.Antifreeze was developed to overcome the shortcomings of water as a heat transfer fluid....On the other hand, if the engine coolant gets too hot, it might boil while inside the engine, causing voids (pockets of steam), leading to localized hot spots and the catastrophic failure of the engine. If plain water were to be used as an engine coolant, it would promote galvanic corrosion. Proper engine coolant and a pressurized coolant system obviate these shortcomings of water. With proper antifreeze, a wide temperature range can be tolerated by the engine coolant, such as −34 °F (−37 °C) to +265 °F (129 °C) for 50% (by volume) propylene glycol diluted with water and a 15 psi pressurized coolant system...." ("Antifreeze", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze...)

Relevant statistics on Engine Coolant and Anti Freeze: "The global antifreeze/coolant market size is estimated at USD 5.4 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2025 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.8%. The global antifreeze/coolant industry will be driven primarily by the increasing number of vehicles in operation worldwide."

Relevant Statistics on accidents relating to Vehicle Issues: "The critical reason was assigned to vehicles in an estimated 44,000 crashes comprising about 2 percent of the NMVCCS crashes, though none of these reasons implied a vehicle causing the crash... Of the small percentage (2%) of the crashes in which the critical reason was assigned to the vehicle, the tire problem accounted for about 35 percent (±11.4%) of the crashes. Brake related problems as critical reasons accounted for about 22 percent (±15.4%) of such crashes. Steering/suspension/ transmission/engine-related problems were assigned as critical reasons in 3 percent (±3.3%) of such crashes. Other vehicle related problems coded as critical reasons were assigned in about 40 percent (±24.0%) percent of such crashes..."
