We’re pretty serious about maintenance at our Chevrolet service center. From oil changes to tire inspections, we do it all at Heartland Chevrolet, and one of the major things we stress to our customers is cooling system maintenance and the dangers of engine overheating.
If you open your hood while your engine is running, chances are, you’ll be hit with a wave of heat right away. Engines run hot, plain and simple. Thanks to the combustion process booming along in your engine, a certain amount of heat is normal. That said, there is a ceiling to how high the temperature in your engine can rise. Excessive engine heat can lead to some pretty serious issues such as cracked gaskets and warped engine cylinders. Fortunately, your cooling system is responsible for keeping that heat within manageable levels, which is why cooling system maintenance is so important.
Your engine’s cooling system is pretty complex, made up of parts and components that can all run into mechanical issues. Components of the process like your radiator, pipes, vents, and coolant should all be checked on a semi-regular basis. Auto experts tend to agree that you should check your engine’s cooling system and coolant levels once every 30,000 miles or so. By being proactive about cooling system maintenance you can avoid any issues that may arise and lead to costly repairs.
When you visit our Chevrolet dealership in Liberty, MO, our Chevy service experts can help you stay on top of your cooling system care. At Heartland Chevrolet, we work to be more than just a place to buy your next great car, but also the spot to fulfill all of your servicing needs.
