antifreeze
Winter engine fluid
Antifreeze is a liquid added to water in cooling systems—especially car radiators—to lower its freezing point and raise its boiling point.
The most common type is ethylene glycol, which is toxic but has a sweet taste that attracts animals and children.
Check your antifreeze before winter.
