What Happens if Coolant is Low?
Insufficient coolant poses a severe risk to your engine. Coolant, responsible for dissipating heat from the engine, prevents overheating and potential seizures. Low coolant levels can lead to an overheated engine, risking permanent damage such as pistons welding to cylinders.
How Often Does a Truck Need New Coolant?
The frequency of coolant replacement depends on usage and manufacturer recommendations. While some service centers suggest changing coolant every two weeks, others adhere to a mileage-based schedule, typically around 30,000 miles or every five years. Regular checks are crucial as low coolant levels can result in engine temperatures exceeding safe limits.
