When does the coolant go out in a van?
Another test to try is to start the van and let it get real hot, then shut it off in a quiet garage or area and listen. Cooling system max pressure happens right after engine shutoff when there is no circulation to keep coolant temps more even. Any seep leaks will happen at this time.
What do you need to know about engine coolant?
What Is Engine Coolant? Engine coolant, also known as antifreeze, is mixed with water to keep the radiator from freezing in extreme cold and overheating in extreme heat. There are many different types of coolant, so it’s important to know what variety is right for your car or truck. Different vehicles require different coolants.
What kind of coolant do I need for an older car?
Coolant for Older Cars. Since coolant technology has evolved so much in the last few decades, if you own an older vehicle you need a formula with a special additive to allow chemistries old and new to work together. MaxLife™ Antifreeze/Coolant helps extend the life of higher mileage vehicles with the additive AlugardPlus®.
Is it possible to lose coolant in the back of a car?
If your car has the rear heater/AC, you could easily lose coolant it the rear heater core, or in the tubing and hoses to it, and not notice. If you live in the salty north, the coolant and refrigerant tubes near the rear tire often corrode thru.

What kind of coolant is used for antifreeze?
IAT Coolant. The most common variety of liquid antifreeze is an IAT formula, or Inorganic Additive Technology. ZEREX™ Original Green is an IAT coolant that has been used for decades and is a formula proven to provide unsurpassed corrosion protection.
