Antifreeze for Honda CR-V

A CR-V is a family car and gets used like one: full cabin, luggage and air conditioning running all day in summer. All of that concerns the cooling system, because the A/C condenser sits in front of the radiator and feeds it warm air.

Summer traffic is the hardest duty cycle

Many assume the motorway is the hardest work an engine does. In fact the hardest duty cycle is summer traffic: almost no airflow, the A/C running, the fan turning constantly and coolant temperature climbing toward the limit.

This is exactly why boiling point matters. At 50/50 that figure is 128 °C with a standard cap, while plain water boils at 100 °C. The moment it boils, vapour forms, and vapour does not carry heat.
