Be Sure to Have Your Coolant Checked Before the Cold Hits

Be Sure to Have Your Coolant Checked Before the Cold Hits 

It’s critical to get your car ready for the upcoming colder months as the temperature drops and winter draws near. Making sure your coolant system is in optimal condition is a crucial maintenance task. Even in subfreezing temperatures, Russ Darrow Honda offers expert auto repair to keep your car in good working order. 

Why Is Coolant Important in Cold Weather? 

Coolant, sometimes referred to as antifreeze, is essential for controlling the temperature of your engine. It keeps the engine from freezing over the winter and keeps it running at its best. Coolant neglect can result in expensive repairs, decreased engine performance, and damage to the engine. For this reason, before the cold snaps, Russ Darrow advises having your coolant checked as part of your regular auto maintenance. 

Signs Your Coolant Needs Attention 

If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule a service: 

• Low coolant levels or frequent refilling
