How can I lower the coolant temperature in my engine?
There are drastic measures you can take to lower your coolant temperature like replacing your thermostat your radiator. Thermostats are designed to open at different temperatures so a thermostat that allows coolant to flow to the radiator at a lower temperature can help keep your engine running cooler.
Can a larger radiator lower the coolant temperature?
Also, adding a larger radiator can increase your cooling system’s capacity by allowing the engine coolant to remain in the radiator longer further cooling it before it returns to the engine. Both of these upgrades can provide lower coolant temperatures however they can be time consuming or expensive installation processes.
What happens if the coolant temperature falls below the preset?
If the coolant temperature falls below the preset temperature regulated by the thermostat, the thermostat blocks the coolant flow to the radiator, forcing the fluid instead through a bypass directly back to the engine.
What happens to the coolant in a car in cold weather?
Given that coolant needs to stay liquid in order to do its job, not to mention avoid cracking the engine block open if it were to turn to ice after sitting overnight at well below freezing temperatures, in most climates you can’t simply poor water into your vehicle’s radiator and call it day.

Why does the coolant tank drop in cold temperature?
Maybe it’s because the temperature has cooled down to where mornings are in the low 60s that may cause the coolant to contract and may explain the level drop in the coolant tank. I don’t know if I’m being overly sensitive about the drop in coolant level.
