2008 GMC Acadia: Engine Coolant 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 obvi...
