Don't Spring A Leak

This winter remember to check your engines coolant!!! Coolant is was keeps your engine from overheating and keeps you toasty warm in the car when its bitter cold outside. There have been a lot of advancements in engine coolant in the past 25 to 30 years, dating back into the early and mid 1990's. These changes have caused engine coolant to last much longer between change intervals. Where as the old style propylene glycol was good for about 36,000 miles or 3 years, whichever came first, the newer technology coolants last between 100,000 to 150,000 miles on average now or 5 years, again whichever comes first. Even with the new technologies in coolant you still need to change it on regular service intervals to keep it from eating away at your cooling system. By flushing the cooling system out and putting new coolant in you prolong the systems life and make sure you will stay roasty toasty warm all winter for years to come.
