One of the most common reasons for a vehicle to be towed-in is because of engine overheating. Overheating is one of the leading causes in engine failure. As the coolant temperature in the engine rises above 230 degrees, the extremely close tolerances in the engine can become distorted and can result in engine having to disassembled and rebuilt or replaced.

Your radiator protects your engine and air conditioning condenser from overheating. It also plays another important role. In today’s computer-controlled engines, a radiator coolant temperature sensor actually tells your car’s computer and other sensors how to adjust your fuel mixture and timing.

So, the efficiency of your radiator directly effects the efficiency of your engine.

Whenever a fluid is in contact with metal electrochemical degradation takes place which results in a higher than normal level of acid present in any given fluid. This higher acid level, if left unchanged, can result in very costly repairs. As a result, it is recommended to flush your cooling system, and most importantly pH balance your antifreeze at least once every two years or 30,000 miles.

This will help reduce the acid level and extend the life of your radiator, heater core, water pump, head gaskets, freeze plugs, radiator and heater hoses.

One of the easiest ways to prevent costly engine damage is to regularly have your cooling system serviced and have your hoses inspected. This way a minor probelm can be fixed before it turns into a major engine overheating issue.
