Coolant / Antifreeze

Critical For Operation

Cooling System

Absorbs engine heat and carries it to the radiator for dissipation, prevents freezing in cold weather, and inhibits corrosion of engine and cooling system components.

Coolant flows through the engine block and radiator to absorb excess heat and maintain optimal operating temperature. In winter, antifreeze prevents freezing, while in summer it raises the boiling point to prevent overheating. Over time, coolant degrades and loses its protective properties, making periodic flushes and top-ups essential.
