antifreeze solution

Winter radiator fluid

A liquid added to water in cooling systems to lower its freezing point and raise its boiling point, preventing damage in extreme temperatures.

The term is slightly redundant—antifreeze is already a solution, typically of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol mixed with water: Check the antifreeze solution before winter.
