Coolant

When your motor is turned on, it is constantly expelling heat. This can then get trapped under the hood of the car and cause your engine and other components to overheat. Similarly, when the weather is below freezing, this can cause your motor to have difficulty heating up and properly functioning. Coolant helps your motor heat up when it is cold out and also cools down the system when it is exposed to high temperatures. Coolant is often confused with antifreeze but they’re different liquids. Coolant is a stable mixture of antifreeze and water to both heat up and cool down the powertrain, while antifreeze only helps keep your motor from freezing over. 

Service and Flush

Coolant runs through the motor thanks to tubes that are strategically placed to maintain your engine at a regulated temperature. Over time, these passages can get blocked due to buildup. To ensure you’re getting the most of this fluid, we recommend you get a coolant system flush every 30,000 miles or three to five years. You can top off this fluid to your liking, but the flush should be performed by the professionals from our Service Department to avoid any accidents or potential damage to the system as a whole.
