Efficient Radiator and Engine Cooling Services for Optimal Performance

Your vehicle’s radiator plays a critical role in maintaining the engine’s temperature, ensuring it operates within the optimal range of 90° to 110° Celsius.
To achieve efficient cooling, the radiator requires a balanced 50/50 solution of water and coolant/antifreeze.
Walnut Grove Auto Tech specializes in radiator and engine cooling services to keep your vehicle performing at its best.

Key Components for Engine Cooling:

Water Pump: Moves the coolant through the system.
Radiator: Cools the coolant, promoting effective temperature control.
Thermostat: Regulates the flow of coolant through the hoses.

Understanding Vehicle Antifreeze:

Antifreeze is a vital component that lowers water’s freezing point, raises its boiling point, and inhibits corrosion within the engine.
Available in various colors like red, green, blue, or yellow, each type of antifreeze has its own specifications.
Proper maintenance of the antifreeze is crucial to preventing overheating or reduced fuel efficiency.

Indicators Your Radiator Needs Attention:

Coolant appears colorless or rusty.
Coolant has a sludgy, oily surface or debris floating on top.
Radiator hoses are leaking, cracked, bulging, or feel squishy.

When to Have Your Radiator/Coolant Checked:

Conventional coolant: Every 50,000 kilometers.
Long-life coolants: Check regularly, but they can last up to 160,000 kilometers.

It’s essential to monitor the coolant level, freeze point, and pH regularly, as overheating can cause engine damage, while overly cold coolant can impact fuel efficiency and lead to sludge buildup.

Take precautions when handling antifreeze, as it is highly poisonous to animals.
