Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to keep your vehicle cooling systems running efficiently and to avoid damage.

Most car manufacturers recommend servicing your cooling system every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. This includes checking the radiator, hoses, and coolant levels. Regular maintenance helps prevent overheating and prolongs the life of your engine.
