Keep your engine cool this summer

Holts Antifreeze & Coolant used to keep engine cool this summer.

As summer temperatures soar across South Africa, drivers face the challenge of keeping their cars in top shape, especially during long road trips and daily commutes.

Your vehicle’s cooling system plays a crucial role in keeping your engine running smoothly, especially during the sweltering summer months. The heat can put extra strain on your car’s engine, increasing the risk of overheating. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road with a broken-down vehicle, so it’s important to take the right steps to avoid engine failure.

The coolant, also known as antifreeze, is essential to regulating your engine’s temperature. Without sufficient coolant, your car’s engine can overheat, leading to breakdowns and costly damage. Ensuring your coolant levels are correct is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent this issue.

Here are some essential tips for keeping your engine in top condition and ready for summer road trips:

  • Check coolant levels regularly: Make sure the coolant reservoir is filled to the recommended level. Low coolant can cause your engine to overheat, especially in hot weather. A quick check now can save you from bigger problems later.
  • Monitor for leaks or damage: Inspect your vehicle’s cooling system for any signs of leaks or wear, particularly around hoses and the radiator. Even a small leak can cause significant coolant loss, leading to potential engine problems.
  • Use high-quality coolant: Choose a premium coolant like Holts AntiFreeze/Summer Coolant. It’s specially designed for the South African climate, offering anti-boiling protection up to 112°C. This ensures your engine stays cool, even in the most extreme temperatures. This premium coolant is available in blue, green, red, and yellow, to match your vehicle’s specific needs, and works effectively in both petrol and diesel engines.
