COOLING SYSTEM EXPLAINED

 

A vehicle’s antifreeze/coolant lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water. Coolant circulates via the engine, absorbing excess heat, preventing rust or corrosion from forming on internal parts, and lubricating the water pump. If the antifreeze/coolant is not replaced, rust will corrode the metal parts of the cooling system and may lead to expensive repairs to the radiator and the water pump.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU NEED A COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE

 

There are various symptoms to watch for that will let you know there is a problem with your car or truck’s cooling system. Keep an eye out for these with the cooling system:

 

Overheating. If your engine gets overheated this could be happening due to a variety of reasons, including a faulty water pump, a busted hose or belt, and many others. You should safely pull over and request a tow if the engine temperature warning light illuminates or you detect the engine is overheating. Engine damage could result from continuing to drive.

Antifreeze odor. If you’re driving and you can smell an antifreeze odor, immediately stop driving your car. The antifreeze flowing over the heated engine is the source of the odor and needs to be corrected immediately, just like an overheating engine.

Antifreeze pooling If you see antifreeze underneath your car’s front end, have your car checked out straight away. The cooling system cannot effectively prevent the engine from overheating whenever there is a leak in it.

Low Coolant Levels. If your car or truck always has low coolant levels, that is a strong indicator that there is a leak in the system.

 

If you experience any of these signs, have your cooling system inspected by a qualified mechanic at one of our nine convenient locations across metro-Atlanta. Regular maintenance and service of your cooling system can help prevent these issues from occurring and keep your vehicle running smoothly. Valvoline Express Care is happy to serve you and fix whatever issues detected.

How Often Do You Need Coolant Flush?

 

Most automakers advise a coolant cleanse every two to three years, or more frequently with severe driving, to avoid or lessen damage from these problems. To learn what is suggested for your car, consult the owner’s manual. Engine size, mileage, environment, current coolant type, and age are a few additional criteria that should be taken into account.

Look at the coolant’s color to see whether it needs to be changed. If the color changes, it’s time for a replacement. Also, you can use a hydrometer to determine whether it’s time for a flush because maintaining the proper coolant-to-water ratio is so crucial.

That is why the cooling system is an important part of an automobile engine. The cooling system serves three primary functions. First, it removes extra heat from the engine; second, it keeps the engine operating where it operates most effectively; and third, it swiftly raises the engine’s working temperature.

But with Valvoline Express Care, everything is possible. We have the best technicians in all areas, such as Dallas, Duluth, Kennesaw, Marieta, North Cobb, Sandy Springs, Tucker, West Cobb, and Woodstock.
