2019 Nissan Altima Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is naturally a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the bitter point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is exceedingly laborious. Interestingly enough, this isn't the initial time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the principal ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze".
