It is vital for your engine to remain at a relatively stable operating temperature for the best performance. This temperature can be affected by internal factors such as the quality of your engine oil, how hard you are running your engine, and external factors such as the outside air temperature. Your engine uses coolant, also known as antifreeze, to prevent extreme fluctuations. Learn about our coolant exchange services here at Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda, and then schedule an appointment for service at our state-of-the-art service center in Indianapolis, IN.
An overheating engine can be catastrophic for your Mazda. When your engine overheats, parts can become worn or damaged, leading to large repair bills. Conversely, if your engine is too cold, it can also lead to problems such as increased fuel consumption or decreased horsepower. Coolant is a specially designed fluid that provides protection and stability for your engine by helping maintain its ideal temperature. Coolant is pumped through your engine block and regulates temperature to help match its preferred settings.
Coolant is not a commonly serviced item, unlike other fluids such as engine oil or transmission fluid. Most vehicles have a coolant service interval between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. However, it is critical that you regularly inspect coolant levels and inspect your coolant for any signs of contamination. When it’s time for a coolant exchange, we invite you to visit us at Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda. We have genuine OEM engine coolant and other high-quality fluids to help ensure that your Mazda is running at peak performance and efficiency at all times, regardless of any outside conditions.
