The Importance of Engine Coolant Service
Oxnard drivers deserve to keep their Honda vehicles in tip-top shape, and part of that is regularly checking and replacing your engine coolant. Internal combustion engines are complex machines with lots of moving parts and fluids, keeping them regulated. While an oil change is a piece of routine maintenance that many drivers take care of, replacing your engine coolant can go overlooked.
Engine coolant, also known as anti-freeze, is a liquid that regulates and maintains your engine's temperature. This is particularly important during extreme temperatures, like excessive heat or cold. This fluid is released and pumped throughout the engine to maintain the proper operating temperature of your vehicle.
If your engine coolant is low, you can risk your engine overheating. Continuing to drive with an overheated engine can lead to major damage. You can tell if your vehicle needs coolant service if your temperature gauge is higher than usual, if your vehicle is leaking, or if you're hearing a severe grinding noise from your engine.
Also, Honda vehicles have a special alert for drivers. Coolant Service is Maintenance Minder Indicator number 5. This is a system built into your digital instrument cluster, which will alert you if the time for fresh engine coolant is approaching.
