Toyota dealer CAB QBE U NE better in gas mileage i Give Your Car You can increase your highway safety and decrease maintenance costs in the months ahead by giving your car's cooling system the pro verbial "stitch in time." In fact,fail ure to take proper precautionary measures is so widespread that en-3 gine overheating today is the lead ing mechanical cause of car break downs in the nation. t )ne of the most common miscon ceptions among do-it-yourselfers is that the more coolant you put in your car. the more overheating pro tection your car gets. Actually. ;« good quality coolant/ant ifree/.e gives your car best warm weather protection when it's mixed with an amount of water. Here, from the ex perts at HASP Wyandotte, develop ers of the Alugard" silicon silicate corrosion inhibitor system, a for mulation found in over 70 anti freeze; brands, are some precau tionary measures you can take this summer: 1. Make sure the coolant already in your car hasn't lost its protective qualities. Kven the so-called "per manent" anti-freezes should be changed once a year to assure maximum protection. A Stitch In Time Engine overheating is now the lead ing mechanical cause of cat break downs. Taking precautionary meas ures. however, can help keep your vehicle out of the statistics. 2. ('heck that the radiator and hose connections aren't leaking. Discoloration of the metal is a tip- off. M. With the ignition* yff and the engine cold, check the inside of the radiator cab lor rust. If rust is pres ent or the coolant appears "dirty", have the cooling system flushed be fore replacing the antifreeze. 4. Make sure the battery is in good shape; and the engine properly timed to help the car start as easily as possible on hot days, when air condi tioning puts particular strain on your car'scoolingand electrical system.
