More About Your Cooling System
Keeping your engine at a safe operating temperature is the main goal of
the cooling system. The cooling system utilizes coolant (also called antifreeze)
to dissipate heat created by the combustion engine. Coolants are typically
a mixture of ethylene or propylene glycol with de-mineralized water.
It’s also important to note that coolant does not last the entire
lifetime of the vehicle. It needs to be monitored. The cooling system
doesn’t need a full maintenance overhaul with every oil change,
but the antifreeze levels should be checked and corrected as needed. It’s
also important to check the quality of this fluid.
