Coolant Fluid Exchange

Coolant Fluid Exchange Service at Shearer Volkswagen of South Burlington

There are several benefits to getting a coolant fluid exchange service. You will keep the engine performing at the proper temperature, which helps maximize engine performance and longevity. The coolant fluid also helps remove contaminants and debris in the cooling system and prevents rust and corrosion on the system's metal parts. During winter, the coolant helps protect against freezing. This is why the engine coolant fluid is also known as the anti-freeze fluid. Some also refer to it as the radiator fluid. The coolant fluid is designed to act as an ideal heat transfer fluid, so you should not replace the coolant fluid with any other type of fluid such as water.
