How to take care of the coolant level

While keeping your cool in traffic may be a bit of a challenge, but keeping your car’s engine cool should not. Ensure your radiator remains as cool as cucumber with these simple tips on checking your cars coolant (antifreeze).

• Check the level: Before you even open up your radiator cap, check to see if the liquid reaches the ‘full’ line on the side of the coolant reservoir.
• Top up: If the liquid is below the ‘full’ line, open the radiator up and add a mix of 50% water and 50% coolant until it does. Some coolants come premixed and do not require any solvent. So check the bottle to see if you need to add more water.
• Use the coolant colour code: Coolant is usually red, green, blue, or yellow. If it looks colourless, looks rusty, or has things floating around in it, flush your cooling system and add new coolant.
• Be concerned about consistency: You ought to pay careful attention to the appearance and feel of the coolant. If the coolant has a sludgy, oily surface, this denotes a leakage. You must immediately take the vehicle to your mechanic to check for internal head gasket leakage. This issue can be rectified at the service centre which is usually equipped with necessary tools and equipment for performing this check.
• Cop a feel: While you are checking your coolant, feel the radiator hoses, too. They are the big hoses that go into the top and come out of the bottom of the radiator. If they are leaking, cracked, bulgy or squishy, they should be replaced.
• Play it cool: Emergency situations happen, and it is only in these situations where you should attempt adding only water to the coolant system. Most modern engines today have aluminium cylinder heads. These heads require the protective anticorrosive properties of antifreeze. In most cases, a 50/50 mix of liquid or coolant is usually sufficient. The rest boast of a coolant recovery system that is pressurized and has a radiator pressure cap instead of a normal cap. Older vehicles may have no coolant reservoir, so in order to check and add coolant, you have got to open the cap on the radiator.
• Don’t be hot headed: Never add coolant to a hot engine! If you feel you ought to add more liquid, wait until the engine has cooled down.  This avoids the possibility of burning or cracking your engine block. Also abstain from opening the caps on either of these systems when the engine is hot; otherwise hot coolant may be ejected and burn you severely.
• Take a chill pill: Checking your coolant may not ward off those pesky taxis, but it will help you feel cool, calm and collected in even the worst of traffic jams here on out
