Getting the Cooling System Ready for Its Hardest Season

Every part of the cooling system is about to work its yearly maximum. May is when to look.

Check the system while it is cheap

Radiators clog and fans quit in July because nobody looked in May. A summer-readiness check is simple: coolant level and condition, pressure-test for leaks, squeeze the hoses, verify both fans spin up, glance at the water pump weep hole. Twenty minutes, and the 110-degree parking-lot crawl in August becomes a non-event.

Quick tips

  • Coolant should look bright and clean — rusty or oily means service
  • Hoses should feel firm, not crunchy or marshmallow-soft
  • If the overflow tank needs regular top-offs, find the leak now
