Your vehicle’s cooling system regulates engine temperature, keeping it on the correct temperature. Without a properly functioning cooling system, the engine can overheat, causing severe damage to other essential components. The system works by circulating coolant through the engine and radiator, ensuring optimal performance.

Overheating the engine can lead to warped cylinders, cracked engine blocks, and complete engine failure. Once an engine overheats, it may never perform the same again, leading to costly repairs or replacement. Regular cooling system maintenance, such as flushing coolant and checking for leaks, can prevent major breakdowns and extend an engine’s life span.

Your cooling system needs to be adjusted based on the season. In general, hot weather coolant must be in top condition to prevent overheating, while in colder months, the right coolant mix ensures the liquid won’t freeze. Seasonal inspections and proper coolant balance keep your engine protected all year round.
