Coolant is one of the many different fluids an engine relies on for proper performance. Maintaining the proper levels will enable your engine to run properly and avoid major repair costs in the future. The price of coolant and flushing your system is nothing compared to what you will face with an overheated engine. Whether in the summer or winter, your engine is operating under extreme temperatures. Coolant is the fluid which helps to regulate the heat of the engine. Cool air from outside will absorb the heat from the fluid and transfer it to the air in the passenger compartment.
Checking your coolant level is very easy to do. If the engine is hot, the coolant will take up more space. Many people do not have their coolant system flushed and instead opt to add coolant as needed. This is a mistake because coolant picks up deposits over time. Not only will it not cool your engine properly, it will not inhibit rust and corrosion. Remember, being cold outside will not prevent your engine from overheating. The engine is in an enclosed area which traps heat. If there is not a proper cooling system in place, you can very easily overheat your engine and crack your block. Simple maintenance from your mechanic will help to keep your engine working properly in all seasons.
