Coolant plays a crucial role in maintaining your engine’s performance and longevity. Also known as antifreeze, coolant is a specially formulated liquid that circulates through the engine and radiator to regulate temperature. It prevents the engine from overheating in the summer and freezing in the winter, ensuring that it operates within an optimal temperature range. Without proper coolant levels, your engine is at risk of severe damage, such as warped cylinders, blown head gaskets, and even complete engine failure. The Role of Coolant in Engine Performance By understanding the importance of coolant and how it contributes to engine performance, you…
