17 outside and I just have water, no anti freeze, am I OK?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on January 2, 2021

It’s 17 degrees outside and I have no antifreeze in my car, will I be all right for just one night?

One Answer

As @JPhi1618 says, if you mean 17 degrees Farenheit, then no, as the water in the block will freeze, and expand - likely causing damage to the engine, and at the very least pushing out the core plugs - it won't matter if it's one night or the whole winter, the damage will occur as soon as the water freezes.

If you mean 17 degrees Celcius, then yes, of course it's fine (but then you probably wouldn't be asking!)
