Driving down the freeway at 60 miles per hour, your engine is producing more than 4,000 controlled explosions every minute to keep you moving down the road. All of those explosions produce a lot of heat, which your engine’s cooling system has to manage appropriately. If your engine is too cold, it will not run efficiently. If it is too hot, you could be headed for serious engine problems.

Your engine cooling system includes the following components:
Radiator Fluid (Anti-Freeze)
Radiator
Cooling Fans
Pressure cap and reserve tank
Water Pump
Thermostat
Head Gaskets and Intake Manifold Gaskets
Heater core
