The Engine Cooling System & Coolant Fluid Maintenance

Every Toyota model with an internal combustion engine requires a cooling system that removes heat to ensure the optimum operating temperature for reliable, long-lasting performance and overheating prevention. The cooling system removes engine heat by pumping coolant fluid through the engine, collecting heat. After collecting engine heat, the coolant fluid passes through the radiator, where the heat dissipates. Coolant fluid is called antifreeze because it prevents engine freezing and damage in sub-zero temperatures. Coolant fluid operates in harsh conditions that cause compositional change and contacts materials, such as metal and rubber, that can fragment and accumulate in the coolant fluid, contributing to compositional change/contamination that negatively affects performance. Toyota recommends a coolant fluid exchange interval for each model in the owner’s manual. Know your model’s recommended coolant fluid exchange interval and schedule service at Tansky Sawmill Toyota.
