The document discusses the importance of coolant for a car's engine. It explains that coolant regulates the engine's temperature by absorbing heat, which it then transfers to the radiator to be cooled. It circulates through the engine and radiator, exchanging heat and keeping the engine from overheating. The document advises checking coolant levels regularly and maintaining it according to the owner's manual to ensure proper engine functioning.

1. IMPORTANCE OF
FOR YOUR
CAR

2. A coolant is a substance, that
is used to reduce or regulate
the temperature of a system
and is primarily used for
regulating the heat in the
engine.

3. Car engines need a way to
cool down, else they will
continue to heat up until the
working metal components
inside begin to melt, fuse
together and the engine will
seize.

4. Engine coolant is known by
many names, like radiator
fluid, radiator coolant, or
antifreeze and is one of the
most crucial fluids for any
car, and is a combination of
antifreeze & water.

5. Here are the details about
the functioning of the
coolant and ways to check it.

7. The coolant absorbs the heat
dissipated by the engine, and
becomes hot itself and then
the heat is transferred to the
radiator located at the front
of the car.

8. There are veins inside the
radiator which contain this
hot coolant and as the car
moves, this hot coolant
comes in the contact of the
outside air which cools it
down.

9. Moreover, airflow through
the veins is maintained by a
fan, if the vehicle becomes
hot due to being stationary
for long periods.

10. The coolant mixture moves
through the engine by means
of a water pump and when
the water circulates through
the engine, it absorbs the
excess heat energy & carries
it to the radiator.

11. After this, through a process
of heat exchange, the heat is
dispelled, the water is cooled
and sent circulating through
the system again.

12. The radiator is positioned in
such a way that it receives a
constant flow of outside air
to help cool the water.

14. Checking the engine coolant
every couple of weeks can
help you to identify any
potential problem before it
occurs.

15. The coolant is stored in the
expansion tank and it is
essential to correctly identify
the tank and you must refer
to the handbook to locate
the coolant filter cap.

16. The coolant should be
between the minimum &
maximum marks on the side
of the expansion tank.

17. The hoses located in the
engine give an idea about
possible issues that may arise
in the future and if they are
wet or there is a white stain
on them, it indicates an issue
that may occur in the future.

18. If there is a need to change
the coolant, then wait for
the engine to cool down
before removing the coolant
cap.

19. The antifreeze which is
recommended by the original
vehicle manufacturer should
be used, as different types of
a mixture of antifreeze do
not work well.

20. If you notice a drop in the
coolant level, then
immediately consult a
professional, as it is not
normal for the coolant level
to drop on its own, and
there might be a leak
somewhere.

22. If you are driving in a hot
climate or go for long
distance driving, then you
must change the coolant
once a year.

23. Thus, it is clear that for the
proper functioning of the
engine, coolant plays a vital
role and it is very important
for your car to operate safely
& effectively.
