A radiator is a device in a motor vehicle that cools an internal combustion engine by carrying coolant liquid, known as antifreeze, through various parts of the engine to ensure that it maintains an optimal temperature. While an engine does need to be hot in order to properly function, it cannot be too hot or else the delicate pistons and valves that allow it to work will melt together and destroy the engine.
In order to avoid having to get such an extremely costly repair, it's essential that car owners follow the maintenance schedules set forth by their vehicle's manufacturer in their owner's manual. While the precise intervals at which a car owner should have his or her antifreeze and radiator hoses checked or replaced will vary according to the make, model and year of the vehicle, in general, it's a good idea for car owners to get the:
• Antifreeze checked at 20,000 and 30,000 miles and for it to be flushed and replaced at 45,000 miles.
• Radiator hoses inspected at 30,000 miles and replaced at 60,000 miles to avoid coolant leaks.
If your vehicle's radiator needs maintenance service or if you suspect your radiator is somehow acting up, you should seek the help of a skilled mechanic who can properly diagnose and repair any problems with your car's cooling system as soon as possible to prevent any permanent damage.
