Beat the Heat: When to Replace Your Antifreeze Coolant

Vehicle maintenance can be easy to neglect because life can get busy! However, it’s important to pay attention to your car’s maintenance, especially in summer when the temperatures get dangerously hot.

Your car’s cooling system is properly functioning when antifreeze, or coolant, is circulating through the engine and radiator. This circulation helps to reduce heat levels produced by your car’s engine. Radiator fluid is just as important in cold temperatures as it is in hot weather. Its circulation keeps the engine block from freezing when your car is in park or overheating when it is running. Without routine maintenance and check-ups, the temperature of your vehicle’s engine can get hot enough to damage itself.
