What to Know About Coolant, Through Our Service Center in Tucson

The coolant in your car is one of the most important aspects of your engine, especially during the hot summer months here in Tucson, AZ. However, like all other fluids in your car, the coolant can lose its potency and effectiveness if left unchecked over time. While some of us have longer commutes and may use up coolant quicker, others may not be used to driving their Dodge or Ram as much or adding in new coolant. When your car reaches about 60,000 miles, and your coolant has not been replaced or flushed yet, then it is time to schedule a maintenance appointment for coolant service here at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Tucson.

Keep Your Engine Cool

The coolant, or "antifreeze" as its commonly known, in your Dodge or Ram plays an integral part in maintaining optimal engine temperature. While the shelf life of your coolant may not be as finite as the oil, it is important to stay on top of all fluids, especially if you are not a frequent driver and have not filled the coolant in a while. Flushing out the antifreeze and topping it back off can be a complicated process, and most other vehicle owners not familiar with the mechanics of a car might not be able to figure it out.

Fortunately, that is where Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Tucson comes in as our on-site service center knows exactly where to look on your Dodge coupe or Ram pickup truck. You can ask about our coolant service when you schedule your usual maintenance appointment once the vehicle reaches 60,000 miles. After you schedule coolant service, it is recommended you continue to schedule one every 30,000 miles or so due to the fact that an older engine may consume antifreeze a bit quicker than a new engine.
