🔧 CAR CARE TIP: Don’t Ignore Your Coolant! 🔧
Your engine creates a LOT of heat, and your cooling system is responsible for keeping that heat under control.
Coolant doesn’t just help prevent overheating—it also contains additives that help protect the inside of your engine, radiator, heater core, water pump, and other cooling-system components from corrosion.
As coolant ages, those protective additives can break down. That’s why simply looking in the reservoir and seeing that it’s “full” doesn’t necessarily mean everything is good.
⚠️ Signs your cooling system may need attention: • Engine temperature running higher than normal
• Coolant level dropping
• Sweet coolant smell
• Visible leaks
• Heater not working properly
• Discolored or contaminated coolant
Preventative maintenance is almost always cheaper than repairing an overheated engine.
At Hoopmans Automotive, we believe in helping our customers understand their vehicles—not just replacing parts when something breaks.
