WHAT IS IT?
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 CHECK IT
IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT DOES IT DO
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.
