Your car’s cooling system maintains operating temperature (around 190 degrees) while preventing it from running too hot or too cold. Antifreeze absorbs heat from the engine and is cooled in the radiator. The water pump circulates coolant through the hoses from the engine to the radiator. The thermostat regulates coolant from the engine to the radiator to maintain a proper operating temperature. These components work together to maximize performance and fuel economy. I the engine is running too hot or too cold, you are risking engine damage.
If you have concerns about the proper operation of your cooling system, have it inspected and serviced today at American Tire Idaho.
