Jeep Wrangler Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is frequently a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are typically half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is exceptionally important. This seemingly isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the prime ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze".
