Your car’s cooling system plays a critical role in keeping the engine running smoothly and preventing overheating. Neglecting the cooling system can lead to significant engine damage and costly repairs. Fortunately, with a little bit of care and attention, you can maintain your car’s cooling system and ensure that it keeps working correctly. Here are some tips on how to maintain your car’s cooling system. If you’re looking to have your vehicle inspected or need assistance with refilling the radiator with coolant, contact the expert technical team at Cecil Atkission Motors in Uvalde, TX.
Your car’s coolant level should be checked every month. The coolant reservoir is usually located near the radiator and has markings indicating the minimum and maximum levels. If the level is low, add coolant as needed. Use the recommended coolant for your vehicle, as different types of coolants may not be compatible with each other.
The hoses and belts that connect the cooling system to the engine can become worn or cracked over time, which can lead to leaks or failure. Inspect these parts regularly for any signs of damage and replace them as needed. Check for leaks around hose connections and tighten them if necessary.
A dirty radiator can reduce the efficiency of your cooling system. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris from the radiator’s fins. Be gentle, as the fins can be easily bent or damaged.
Over time, coolant can break down and lose its effectiveness. It’s recommended to replace the coolant every two to three years according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Flushing the system before adding new coolant is also a good idea.
