Spending your winter in the sun often means leaving your car at home in the cold. But what about the antifreeze? Antifreeze also referred to as coolant is a fluid that is used in a vehicle's cooling system. This fluid is one of the most important fluids of your car because it helps in maintaining an optimal temperature for your car's engine so that it can work properly. It is not uncommon to have leftover antifreeze after topping off the antifreeze fluid level in your car's cooling system. But what if you have antifreeze fluid that has been laying around for a long time? Would it still be good or does antifreeze go bad after a while without being used?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does antifreeze go bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, the short answer to this question is that concentrated antifreeze fluid which hasn't been mixed with water has an indefinite lifespan. This is why concentrated antifreeze doesn't have an expiration date. So if you keep antifreeze in its original container with a lid on top it will be as good as new after years ready to be put inside your car's cooling system. But if you have a container of premixed antifreeze that comes mixed with water then it is going to go bad after 3 years. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
