What happens to oil when car overheats?
Car engines produce a lot of heat, which they transfer to the oil. This cooling system prevents the engine from overheating. Nevertheless, oil (and any anti-wear components present in the oil) breaks down at high temperatures. Its chemical make-up becomes unstable, and it doesn’t absorb heat as readily.
Why do I need Prestone in my car?
Buildup in the engine block cooling channels can make it difficult for coolant to travel. This can cause excessive heat, resulting in oil becoming too hot and thin and potentially damaging the whole system. Prestone ® Antifreeze+Coolant prevents this buildup in the channel, avoiding this damage.
What does Prestone antifreeze do for a radiator?
Prestone ® Antifreeze+Coolant prevents corrosion and keeps your radiator performing optimally. Buildup in the engine block cooling channels can make it difficult for coolant to travel. This can cause excessive heat, resulting in oil becoming too hot and thin and potentially damaging the whole system.
How do you flush a Prestone cooling system?
Drain the system per the instructions above. Pour Prestone Cooling System Flush into expansion tank and top up with water to the fill line. Then, run the engine for 45-60 minutes. Drain the system again, flush once more with water, before filling the system with Prestone Coolant/Antifreeze.
Why do you need Prestone for your water pump?
The water pump keeps fluid circulating through the critical parts of your engine. Prestone ® Antifreeze+Coolant keeps the water pump looking like new after extreme testing and protects the parts to avoid costly repairs and vehicle downtime. Buildup in the radiator greatly reduces the ability for the system to cool.

How long does Prestone car cooling system last?
Designed to last and protect vital engine parts for 10 years/300,000 miles. Includes patented Prestone Cor-Guard ® technology, our best advancement in cooling system parts protection that protects against rust, corrosion, scale, buildup and clogging of all cooling system components. Ready to Use formula.
What is the correct formula for Prestone coolant concentrate?
Concentrate formula. Must mix with water (distilled ideal) to the desired mix ratio of EG & water. Can be used for top-off, complete drain and refill or flush and refill of the cooling system.
