A Long Lasting Cooling System For Fairbanks, AK Driving

Our vehicles operate in a wide range of outside temperatures. That’s why vehicle manufacturers use testing grounds from the frozen tundra to the blistering desert. Your engine antifreeze/coolant must be able to perform in these extreme temperatures.

Antifreeze/coolant must move heat away from the engine to prevent costly damage. Water does a very good job of holding heat, but it freezes at thirty-two degrees.

That’s why we mix anti-freeze with water – it lowers the freezing point of the antifreeze/coolant and raises the boiling point as well. A fifty/fifty blend of water and antifreeze/coolant is the usual recommendation.

And on top of that, antifreeze/coolant must protect the components of the cooling system from corrosion. Your owners’ manual will tell you what kind of antifreeze/coolant you should use. Of course, your service center will know what to put in your car.

Cooling system failure is the most common mechanical problem people have. Much of that can be avoided by following factory scheduled service intervals. Check your owner’s manual or with your service advisor for recommendations. He can also conduct a cooling system inspection to look for leaks, weak hoses or bad connections.
