Coolant Fluid Exchange Service

Engine Cooling and Coolant Fluid 101

Internal combustion engines generate a considerable amount of heat while producing the drive power your vehicle needs to get down the road. To mitigate the extreme heat generated from sponsoring thousands of tiny explosions with every minute of operation, every internal combustion engine requires an engine cooling system that removes excess heat that would otherwise wreak havoc on the internal moving components. At the heart of keeping the engine cool is the engine cooling system that pumps coolant fluid through engine passages absorbing heat and sending that heat away from the engine at the radiator. The extreme heat and worn components will ultimately cause coolant fluid to get contaminated, leak out of the system, or succumb to thermal breakdown. Your engine and overall vehicle performance benefit significantly from fresh coolant fluid at the recommended maintenance schedule.
