Your vehicle needs engine coolant, also known as antifreeze, to run properly. The coolant that is in your vehicle flows through the vehicle’s cooling system, which is a series of parts that work in conjunction with one another to keep your vehicle’s engine cool. Your vehicle’s cooling system also allows you to control the temperature of your vehicle’s cabin, providing both cold and hot air for the occupants of your vehicle.
When you bring your vehicle in for a coolant fluid exchange, a technician will inspect your vehicle’s cooling system for leaks and damage. Once the system has been inspected, the technician will then flush the old engine coolant out of your vehicle’s cooling system and replace the coolant with a fresh batch. There are different types of engine coolant, so the technician will also make sure to use the fluid that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer for your vehicle.
Engine coolant continually circulates your vehicle’s cooling system as the vehicle’s engine runs. As the coolant circulates the engine, it absorbs the heat that the engine produces. The circulation of the coolant, in addition to the design of your vehicle’s cooling system, allows the coolant to dissipate the heat away from the vehicle. The release of the heat that your vehicle’s engine produces prevents your vehicle from experiencing the damaging effects of overheating.
In cold weather, the engine coolant of your vehicle prevents the engine from freezing by providing heat to the engine. In contrast to its effect in warmer climates, engine coolant releases the heat that it has absorbed back to the engine when the engine is cold. An engine can seize and become inoperable when it is frozen.
To make sure that your vehicle can properly cool itself down when it needs to, you should routinely inspect and maintain its cooling system. Most manufacturers recommend that drivers have their vehicles’ coolant fluids exchanged at least once every 30,000 miles. However, this maintenance schedule can vary based on your vehicle’s design. If you would like to know more about what your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends for your vehicle, refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
