Jay Cassill's Vehicle Maintenance Tech Tip for your Cooling System!
Posted by Stephanie Prochaska on Tue, Aug 23, 2011 @ 05:50 PM
I only need to think about my antifreeze in the winter.....right?
WRONG!!!
The cooling system is just as important in the summer! Pulling your boat or camper and having an overheating problem is no fun, and hard on your vehicle.
Why?
Over an extended period of time, antifreeze becomes a very corrosive product that will plug the small passages in the radiator and the heater core as well as corrode the block, waterpump and cylinder heads. Even with the "extended life antifreeze" in the newer cars today I still recommend changing the antifreeze every 3 to 4 years this will help to prevent any corrosion damage.
So, when was the last time your cooling system was flushed?
PS...
As we discussed in the July Car Care Awareness Class - Your radiator cap can be dangerous! DO NOT remove the cap unless your vehicle is completely cool. We don't want anyone getting burnt! Car Care Awareness Class happens once a month. You can register for the next class from the link below!
