Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Dilute your coolant

Coolant_300x223

Your cooling system needs both coolant-antifreeze and water, so don’t pour undiluted coolant into your cooling system. Dilute it with water to the commonly recommended 50-50 ratio. Similarly, don’t use straight water in your system either. The coolant protects against corrosion and freezing.The water ensures good heat transfer from the coolant to the radiator.
