ANTIFREEZE DOES NOT EVAPORATE

If you are having to add antifreeze to your cooling system that is a symptom that there is a problem. Antifreeze does not evaporate.

The engine cooling system affects your car's overall dependability and engine longevity.  Cooling systems have advanced over the years with new coolant formulations and new radiator designs and materials.  If you suspect a problem with your cooling system, you should have it checked immediately.

The key parts of the cooling system remove heat from the engine and automatic transmission and dissipate heat to the air outside.  The water pump circulates coolant through the engine.  The coolant absorbs heat and returns it to the radiator where heat is dissipated.  the thermostat regulates the coolant temperature to keep it consistent for efficient engine operation.

Factors that affect the replacement of cooling system parts include:


  • Driving habits
  • Operating conditions
  • Type of vehicle
  • Type of coolant
  • Frequency of regular maintenance such as coolant changes
SYMPTOMS
  • Overheating
  • Sweet smell
  • Leaks
  • Repeatedly needing to add fluid
