What happens if I put wrong coolant in car?

Using the wrong engine coolant can gradually lead to corrosion and damage to the water pump, radiator, radiator hoses and cylinder gasket.

What happens if you don’t use Dexcool?

They react and will gel up. So if you don’t want to use dex-cool, the system needs to be drained and thoroughly flushed. Then it should be ok to use regular anti freeze. VW however warns against using anything other than their coolant, saying it can erode gaskets etc.

Can I mix green coolant with orange coolant? This is one of those questions usually asked after the fact, and usually engine damage has already occurred. The green and orange coolants do not mix. When mixed together they form a gel-like substance that stops coolant flow, and consequently, the engine overheats.

Is it OK to use universal antifreeze?

There are advantages to using only one type of coolant, both for newer and for classic cars. Classic car owners traditionally use inorganic acid coolants, the ones that are ethylene-glycol-based and bright green in color. But using an OAT-based universal coolant will be fine in your classic car.

What color is universal antifreeze?
