- Understanding today's demands on a vehicles cooling system is vital to maximizing your vehicles engine and transmission condition. Your cooling system is responsible for keeping your powertrain at just the right temperature during all driving conditions. A cooling system that is making the engine run too hot can cause damage to the engine or the transmission. A system that is running too cold can cause the engine to exhaust more pollutants than designed and can also decrease gas mileage.
- Belts and hoses should be checked every time your vehicle is serviced. While today's belts and hoses are built better than the belts and hoses of the past keep in mind that they operate under severe conditions and will deteriorate over time. Proper inspection for cracks, bulges, and blisters is important to keep you from being stranded. |
