@the_garage_goblin: Your engine should melt itself, but the cooling system prevents that. Today we’re leaning about how engines stay cool, and how you should maintain that. #mechanic #car #carmechanictiktokcontest

I'm 32 and today I learned you need to change out your coolant every 30k or so. 😅

since i drink antifreeze, does that mean I won't overheat as long as I stay topped up?

I’ve seen that in an emergency, you *can* put water in the coolant tank; like to get it to a shop; but only as a last resort. If it’s not hot outside it’ll stop the engine from overheating immediately

What if the thermostat has been replaced but the temperature needle doesn’t go up and just stays on cold?

When I was 19 and had my first car (1994 Ford Escort LX), it was overheating as I was pulling up to my house. I had coolant in the car and absent-mindedly just popped the cap. That 2-stage safety cap saved me my eyesight and lengthy hospital stay. The coolant sprayed out the sides, some of it splashing up into my pants. I ripped them off so fast and was lucky to be wearing looser fitting clothes, too. I wound up with a maybe 6" diameter burn on my thigh which took weeks of constant dressing changes and tedious bathing routines to heal. I was just ignorant at the time but I have since looked into every safety precaution given for any machinery I use. If it going poorly could harm you, please make sure you know how to minimize risk.

I had a weird one. Was loosing coolant but had no leaks, oil was not milky and car wasn’t smoking at all either. Turned on the brand new radiator cap was slowly leaking and evaporating coolant out. I put the old broken one back on and I haven’t lost a drop yet ! 🫡
