Ever wonder what your car's radiator does? Wonder no more! The experts at ineedaradiator.com have put together an informative overview about radiators and radiator maintenance.
The radiator is a critical component of your vehicle. During normal operation, such as driving, your vehicle's engine temperature rises -- too much heat, and it stops functioning altogether. The radiator's most important job is to prevent your engine from overheating, and keep you safely on the road. Driving with a faulty radiator can lead to sluggish performance, or worse, total engine failure.
A radiator's coiled design help to dissipate heat while driving. As coolant circulates through your engine, it gets hot -- the radiator transfers this heat to its metal tubes, allowing it to escape through your vehicle's ventilation system. A problem with your car's cooling system, in addition to a faulty radiator, could easily lead to an overheated engine, frustration, and costly repairs.
Proper maintenance of your vehicle's cooling system and its components is essential to ensuring your vehicle's longevity and overall well-being. In spite of this, many drivers overlook this important component, failing to give it the attention it needs to perform at optimal levels.
A coolant, or heat transfer fluid, is a fluid which flows through a device in order to prevent its overheating, transferring the heat produced by the device to other devices that utilize or dissipate it. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, and is chemically inert, neither causing nor promoting corrosion of the cooling system. Coolant levels should be checked during regularly scheduled oil changes, or every 5000 miles. Many people check their coolant level only during really cold temperatures, to make sure they have coolant to prevent water from freezing -- this could contribute to ongoing problems with the engine and its cooling system.
Every vehicle has its own unique maintenance schedules. However, the standard guidelines recommend that the cooling system be completely flushed and replaced with new coolant every 2 Years or 24,000 miles. This simple effort can help keep your vehicle running smoothly, improving fuel efficiency and reducing the risk for costly repairs in the future.
In addition, coolant prevents water from freezing inside the radiator and also helps with cooling efficiency, but it can also be a major problem if left unchecked. Without proper maintenance, coolant (like motor oil) will undergo a chemical breakdown and contribute to corroding the radiator rather than protecting it.
REMEMBER TO REGULARLY CHECK UP ON YOUR COOLANT LEVELS, PERFORM SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS, AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GAUGES!!!
