Engine’s Coolant and The Coolant System

I’m James with S&S Tire in the Brannon Crossing location, and today, I want to talk to you about your engine’s coolant and the coolant system. Reasons you may want to check your coolant system if you ain’t ever have done it before … One is if your car has higher mileage, you want to check into that because over time, the coolant will actually degrade, the quality of that coolant will degrade, and will actually create issues down the road if left unattended. One may be, it actually can create with the thermostat, causing the thermostat to stick open or closed, creating a not-coming-up-to-temperature issue or becoming over-a-certain-temperature issue.

Two, a quality coolant will help with the seals and the gaskets within your engine to keep those from leaking, allowing coolant to come out. You could test these with devices that they have on the market today to test the quality of your coolant through the temperature, or you can bring it into S&S Tire and let us do it.

Also, if your engine’s coolant gets low, it can create an issue. Not only engine overheating, but it can affect the air conditioning of your vehicle. Air conditioning also helps to run off that coolant by keeping you cool inside the vehicle. So if your coolant’s low, your air conditioning is not working properly. And if that’s the case, it may be overworking. If you’ve never had it inspected, get it inspected today. Check your manufacturer’s recommendations, and check it out.
