Did you know that antifreeze starts out completely colorless? All those vibrant greens, oranges, reds, blues, ambers, and pinks you see on store shelves are actually dyed. Manufacturers don’t just add color for aesthetics, though. Coloring antifreeze serves several practical purposes.
As a consumer, it’s important to pay attention to the color of the coolant you select since using the wrong one can potentially damage your engine over time. The colors help differentiate between coolant formulations, making it easier to identify what's under the hood and ensuring you're using the right product.
Brands add dye to antifreeze for several reasons:
- **Brand Differentiation:** Helps consumers easily recognize one brand from another.
- **Formula Identification:** Makes it simpler to tell apart the specific chemical composition of various coolants.
- **Visibility:** The bright colors make it easier to spot leaks and ensure proper levels under the hood.
While there isn’t a universal color guide for coolants, understanding which color corresponds to your vehicle is crucial. Ultimately, the right coolant depends on your car’s make, model, and year. For the long answer, keep reading.
### Three Main Types of Coolants
There are three primary types of coolants commonly found in the market:
1. **Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT):** This classic green coolant was widely used for many years and is still relevant for older vehicles that require it. It contains additives to prevent corrosion in copper, brass, cast iron, and aluminum parts. However, it’s generally not recommended for newer cars due to its shorter lifespan compared to other types.
2. **Organic Acid Technology (OAT):** Typically orange or yellow, this coolant lasts longer and is used in modern engines where metal protection isn’t as critical. It’s propylene glycol-based and lacks silicates or phosphates, meaning it provides slower but effective protection against corrosion. GM’s DexCool is a popular brand in this category and comes in orange.
3. **Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT):** Many manufacturers prefer the extended lifespan of OAT coolants but want better metal protection. Thus, they developed HOAT, a blend of IAT and OAT containing a small amount of silicates. It offers the best of both worlds. Some common brands include:
- G-05 (popular among European automakers)
- G-11 or G-12 (used by Volkswagen and Audi)
- Global (adopted by most coolant producers)
### How to Determine the Right Coolant for Your Car
With so many options available, choosing the correct coolant can be confusing. Additionally, Asian, European, and American manufacturers often prefer specific chemical compositions to optimize engine performance and reliability.
Your car manufacturer specifies a particular coolant for good reason. The recommended coolant includes a precise mix of chemicals designed to extend the life of your engine. To determine the right coolant for your vehicle, consult your owner’s manual. If the manual suggests a specific brand, it’s wise to stick with it, even if it’s pricier than alternatives.

*Please note: This table is not exhaustive. Always refer to your owner’s manual for precise coolant recommendations.*
### Why Mixing Coolants Is a Bad Idea
Each type of coolant has its unique formulation tailored to specific vehicles. Adding the wrong coolant or mixing types can harm your engine in multiple ways. For instance, introducing an OAT coolant into an older engine requiring standard IAT green coolant will dilute essential protective agents like phosphates and silicates. Consequently, your engine's metal components won’t receive adequate protection.
### Finally, Don’t Forget to Flush Your Coolant
Regularly flushing your coolant is an essential part of vehicle maintenance. Learn more about when to do this in our dedicated blog post.
By understanding the importance of coolant selection and adhering to your car manufacturer’s recommendations, you’ll ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
