Purpose
Have you ever wondered what purpose coolant plays in your day-to-day rides? This fluid is largely composed of two equal parts water and antifreeze. As a result of this unique blend, you can expect that coolant will not freeze or boil under most natural circumstances. For the engine, which must be kept at a consistent equilibrium in terms of its temperature, this is particularly important. Coolant flows through a series of metal pipes that enter and exit the powertrain, helping it to avoid overheating in the summer and being too cold to function in the winter. That way, you can continue to enjoy your rides along I-55.
Warning Signs
Whenever your current supply of coolant is no longer enough to support your engine’s functions, your Chevrolet model will let you know through a series of warning signs. This can include the engine temperature gauge indicating overheating, as your coolant may not be in good enough condition to continue its role. You may even observe the smell of burning whenever the situation has grown particularly dire. But if you notice a sweet odor instead, this is an indication that a leak has occurred somewhere. To avoid this from affecting your future rides to The Morton Arboretum, visit our Service Department as soon as possible.
Service
In most cases, our team will suggest that you get a total coolant flush once every two years, or 30,000 miles. This can vary depending on your vehicle and driving habits, so be sure to check your Owner’s Manual first. Our team will get started on assisting you by first verifying the quality and quantity of your coolant supply. If there appear to be particles floating within the liquid, it must be completely exchanged before your next ride. But if your coolant is simply lower than it should be, your remaining reservoir will be topped off. Our staff will also look for any potential leaks that may have occurred. Schedule a service appointment with us when your Chevrolet model requires coolant service.
