Bill Dube Hyundai: Checking Engine Coolant Level

When checking the coolant level in your vehicle, always remember to do it when the car is cold. Most cars contain a coolant overflow tank located next to the radiator. The tank is typically marked on the side so you can see how high or low the level is. If your coolant is low, you will want to top it off. Engines require a 50-50 mixture of coolant and water. This allows the radiator to achieve the precise boiling or freeze protection that the engine requires. When adding coolant. Unscrew the cap of the translucent overflow container and pour the mixture carefully until it meets the full mark. If you’re constantly refilling your coolant you might have a leak. The reason could be as simple as getting a new radiator hose or it could be the radiator itself. A little preventative maintenance can save you from having any major issues down the road.
