ONE OF the most neviceted parts
at today’s cars is the coaling
s¥steny.

It is abe one ot the most tin.
portant, especially wath today's
smitdler, harder-working aluminum
engines that cam put our enough
heat in 20 minutes to melt a 200-
pound cast tron black.

Fhe higher operating
temperatures and reduced cooling
system capacigs of these engines
means that the coolant may cir-
culate at rates up fo several thou-
sand Hires every hour to keep the
engine from overheating.

Since an average mid-sized
engine has a coolant capacity. of
only f0-15 litres, this ruts
tremendous stress on the cousant
to perform, and makes it vital
that you hase it changed at pre-
per, regular intervals.

AN cvolant works for vou every
season of the sear, but its cooling
and corresion-inhibiting functions
are much more important than the
prevention of freezing. Qace these
inhibitors break down, all kinds
of engine damage can Occur, often
before you can do anything to
prevent it.

For example, radiator tubes,
water pumps and the inside walis
of the engine block and head can
quickly corrode.

Particles suspended ia the
coolant erode the inside of the
cooling system, particularly softer
aluminum parts such as the water
pump housing. iapeller, head and
even the engine block.

Unless combustion chamber
wally are kept cool, spark plugs
wear out faster and piston rings
