Coolant Fluid Exchange

What Does Coolant Fluid / Antifreeze Do?

TThis fluid is a temperature stabilizer that not only helps to keep the engine cool but also prevents the water from freezing in sub-zero temperatures. It is a vital fluid that you will want to keep at its best as the engine will receive damages if it leaks or gets contaminated.

Keeping the Engine Cool

The combustion engine generates power through thousands of controlled explosions every minute of operation. This would heat the engine to extreme temperatures, and the internal components would seize without an engine cooling system whose responsibility is to contain the heat. The engine cooling system uses a water pump to circulate coolant fluid through the engine collecting heat. The heat is then removed at the radiator. Coolant fluid completes this cycle endlessly until it gets contaminated or leaks. It will then require an exchange service to restore peak performance to the engine cooling system.

What are the Warning Signs of Defective Coolant Fluid?

TNever ignore any of these warning signs as the engine is at enhanced risk of overheating:

• Dashboard warning light
• Low coolant that requires repeated topping off
• Coolant fluid leaking often found puddled under the vehicle
• Engine runs hotter or overheats
• Automatic engine shut off
• Heater does not work
• Reduced fuel economy
• Sweet smell
