Believe it or not, your coolant is a very important fluid you need in your vehicle all year round. As funny as it sounds since the word has “cool” it in, you would not think you would need it in the Winter. Well your coolant is also known as antifreeze, now it seems important right? Coolant contains a chemical called ethylene glycol. This chemical is responsible for stopping water from boiling or freezing in extreme temperatures. Coolant can also help metal features of your engine from rusting and corroding and keeping seals and gaskets soft so they are less likely to leak.
So it is very important that you have coolant in your car in every season but especially in the Winter months. Here in New Jersey we can have some pretty cold temperatures and you would not want your vehicle to freeze in anyway.
Your coolant can be topped off when you come in for a service appointment as this is something our technicians will check. You can also make an appointment for a coolant service which as per our recommendations should be done about every 2 years or ever 30,000 miles. Please stop by or call us, Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center, at (609)-655-2886 if you have any questions regarding coolant or if you’d like to make an appointment for a coolant service!
