When fuel and air are combined in your engine the fuel combusts in the combustion chamber and the temperatures can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit or even more. Your cooling system in your vehicle controls the internal temperature so your engine doesn’t overheat. This also gives you good fuel economy and power as well as adding to the life of your engine components and giving you minimal emissions. The coolant circulates through your engine to cool it. When you have your cooling system serviced, the old coolant is flushed out and new coolant is put in the radiator.
It is imperative to service your cooling system at the intervals listed in your owner’s manual for your particular vehicle. Otherwise, your engine can overheat, leave you on the side of the road and it can also destroy the engine so that it needs replacing, which is very expensive.
If you delay having your cooling system serviced, you will begin to notice:
These are all precursors to your engine overheating.
Coolant contains rust inhibiting properties and when it is old, it can cause corrosion to the radiator, thermostat, radiator cap, water pump, and hoses both to and from the radiator. All of these items will malfunction and lead to your car overheating and possibly dictate that you replace all of the parts and the engine also.
