The Importance of Coolant

Coolant is one of the fluids that have a relatively long lifespan before needing to be changed. The coolant or “antifreeze” is essential for your vehicle’s everyday function. It is the fluid that helps keep the radiator from overheating – preventing mechanical failure and costly repairs.

Here are signs that you need to change your coolant:

• You notice your engine is running hotter than usual.
• The coolant light on your dashboard turns on. Coolant can be topped off at home, but it is important to consult your owner’s manual or even call Travers Premier Auto Service to make sure you’re using the proper coolant and adding the correct amount.
• If your engine is starting to produce a sweet smell, there is likely a leak and should be checked immediately.
• You notice an issue with your engine temperature – if the coolant is low, the engine will not function properly, which can also stem as a result from a leak.

A common misconception is that coolant is only important during the colder months. Though it does help keep fluids from icing over during those conditions, it also prevents fluids from reaching a boiling during the warmer months. This fluid is one that does not need to be changed nearly as often as oil, so it is easy to be forgotten about or overlooked.
