Joliet drivers rely on their car\u2019s coolant system to keep their engine cool.<\/strong>\u00a0Coolant (also called antifreeze) mixed with water flows through your sedan engine and absorbs heat. The mixture then flows out to the radiator where it\u2019s cooled by air flowing over the radiator. From there the coolant\/water mix circulates back through the engine to absorb more heat.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason we mix coolant and water. Water alone actually does a good job transferring heat from the engine.\u00a0The problem is that water boils at a temperature that\u2019s easily reached inside your sedan\u2019s engine, so it can turn to steam which does not conduct heat as well and is harder to contain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, if it\u2019s freezing outside in Joliet, the water in your engine could freeze while your vehicle is sitting out in the cold.<\/p>\n

So, if you remember your Joliet high school chemistry, you\u2019ll know that a mixture has both a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than either component alone.<\/p>\n

Coolant, or\u00a0antifreeze<\/a>, is specially formulated to keep your engine safe in a wide range of environmental and operating temperatures in and around Joliet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"8ca36_CoolantAntifreeze_0909_NikiDave_LA_s\"<\/a>Whenever the sedan is running, the coolant in the cooling system is working to keep your engine from overheating. When it\u2019s cold outside, the coolant acts as antifreeze to keep the fluid from freezing in your engine.<\/p>\n

All that exploding fuel in your engine creates a lot of heat.\u00a0Without coolant, the metal sedan engine parts would expand so much that the engine would seize up and stop running.<\/strong>\u00a0Expensive parts could be broken or warp so badly they would have to be replaced. It could even be so bad that the whole sedan\u2019s engine is ruined and has to be junked.<\/p>\n

This is why it is critical that Joliet drivers\u00a0check coolant levels<\/a>\u00a0frequently and have their sedan cooling system inspected for leaks. Also your sedan manufacturer has a maintenance requirement for draining and replacing your coolant. These recommendations can vary widely, so check your owner\u2019s manual or ask us at AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE in Joliet.<\/p>\n

The reason you need to change the coolant is that it has additives in it to protect the cooling system. As you can imagine, with all the heat, the cooling system\u2019s a pretty harsh environment. The additives keep the fluid from becoming corrosive and damaging the radiator and other sedan cooling system components. Over time, the additives are depleted and\u00a0the coolant just has to be replaced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many Joliet auto owners ask AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE why there are different colors of antifreeze. It is very important that you use the correct type of antifreeze. The different types of antifreeze \u2013 or coolant \u2013 are different colors so you don\u2019t mix them up.<\/p>\n

Auto manufacturers use different materials to make the cooling system, and they require different types of antifreeze to protect them.<\/p>\n

So check with us at AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE or your owner\u2019s manual for the right kind because using the wrong coolant can void the warranty for your sedan cooling system.<\/strong><\/p>\n
