Maintaining Your Coolant is Important
Coolant absorbs heat from the engine and disperses it through the radiator and interior heater; it also contains rust inhibitors. Changing it out removes dirt and rust particles that can clog the system and lead to expensive overheating.
Depending on the type of coolant, it should be flushed as soon as 2 years, and some coolants last up to 5 years.

CAN YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR ON WHILE PUMPING GAS?
Learn more about why the gas stations say "No."
Fuel pumps happen to be simple to operate. A locking mechanism holds the spigot open during fueling, supplying you with a hands-free experience until you need to disconnect. In theory, the pump should automatically turn off the moment it senses your tank is full, though this isn’t 100% foolproof.
