A car's cooling system is designed to contain a certain amount of fluid. With too much in the system, the fluid will expand after reaching high temperatures and you might see a puddle of antifreeze. Don't worry, the puddle is due to the overfill Make sure to check your overflow reservoir after you shut off your car. Make sure that there is still some fluid left in it.

If you put too much antifreeze in car engine will it affect the incar heaters?
You can run up to 75 percent antifreeze without any trouble. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually , Ford states not to exceed ( 60 % antifreeze )
What will happen if you put too much antifreeze in the overflow tank?
Nothing. It will not hurt anything.
What if too much antifreeze in the car?
If it's a question of too much fluid it can overflow, if it's a question about the fluid being too concentrated - don't worry about it.
Why is antifreeze put into car radiators?
So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running. Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.
When Should I Put Antifreeze In My Car?
If your vehicle seems to be having problems try to add the anti-freeze as soon as possible. If you don't use your vehicle much it can wait for when you have time.
Can having too much antifreeze in your car cause it to overheat?
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
Is 25000 miles too much to put on a car in one year?
No, it is not too much.
What is antifreeze use for?
Antifreeze/Coolant is a fluid that prevents the car from overheating or becoming so cold that it won't start. Without it, in the summer, your car would run too hot, and in the winter, your car wouldn't run at all.
Can I put too much oil in my Honda shadow?
Yes usually if you put too much it is much like a car it will smoke and foul out your spark plugs or make the piston rings break or much worse. If you have put too much in your bike drain it immediately to stop further damage.
How much antifreeze goes in a radiator?
The tank that holds the anti freeze should have a MAX and MIN line on it. Don't exceed or put too littleAdditional answerYou may be asking what is the total capacity of the cooling system, or you may be asking what proportion of the coolant should be antifreeze - it's difficult to tell from your question.The total capacity of the colling system will vary from car to car. You need to consult the handbook.The amount of A/F in the coolant depends on how much frost you expect to experience. I don't know where you live or what your low temperatures normally are, but if you live in Alaska you'll probably put 50/50 antifreeze and water, but in the UK you' probaby put 25/75antifreeze and water.
How do you know if you overfill your antifreeze reservoir?
Once your vehicle is warmed up, if you have antifreeze coming out of the overflow you have too much in your radiator.
What should you do if you put too much oil in your car?
Remove oil from pan or go for an oil change. Too much oil can blow out the gaskets.
