  What happens when a car reaches its maximum mileage?

  Theoretically, a vehicle that has covered more miles has more wear and tear, but a car with 60,000 miles on the odometer can easily be in worse shape than one with 120,000 miles. Overall, a high-mileage vehicle that is driven frequently and has been well-maintained will be a more reliable bet.

  What’s the replacement interval for a car coolant?

  Coolant: Many OEMs have a replacement interval of 125,000 miles. While the coolant does not lose its ability to transfer heat, the additive package loses its ability control corrosion and the pH level of the coolant.

  What should I put in my car coolant when it is low?

  If the level of coolant is low, a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% antifreeze can be added. In warm temperatures and desperate situations, plain water will suffice to get you to the garage.

  What should the temperature be for a car cooling system?

  That means keeping the engine in the 180- to 210-degree F range. To achieve and maintain optimum temperature range, a good cooling system needs the right-sized radiator and fan combo. It must also have the appropriate water pump speed and coolant flow between the engine and radiator.

  Where to put the coolant in the radiator?

  There’s a COLD/MIN label on the tank indicating the ideal antifreeze level when the engine is cold. The coolant in the radiator should be just below the filler neck.

  What kind of coolant do I need for an older car?

  That means keeping the engine in the 180- to 210-degree F range. To achieve and maintain optimum temperature range, a good cooling system needs the right-sized radiator and fan combo. It must also have the appropriate water pump speed and coolant flow between the engine and radiator.
