Checking your car’s coolant level is an essential part of maintaining your vehicle. Coolant helps to keep your engine from overheating and can prevent serious damage. Checking the coolant level is a simple process that can be done in just a few minutes.
To check the coolant level, first locate the coolant reservoir. This is usually a clear plastic tank with a black cap. The coolant level should be between the “full” and “low” marks on the reservoir. If the coolant level is low, you can add more coolant to the reservoir. Be sure to use the type of coolant that is recommended for your car.
