Little or no coolant is one of the reasons that your engine may overheat. Fortunately, this is something that can be easily fixed. Fill the coolant levels to the amount that the manufacturer recommends. The owner's manual of your vehicle can tell you where the coolant reservoir tank is located. You may also have a leak in the coolant system. If you have a leak, then you will likely notice a puddle or spot on the ground. The puddle will be orange, blue, or green in color.
Thermostat failure is another cause of an overheating engine. The thermostat is what regulates the temperature. If the thermostat is not working properly, then the coolant will not be able to flow properly. The oil also helps regulate the engine temperature by lubricating the parts. If the oil is too low, then the engine temperature can increase. Visit our service center today at Griffin Motors Company in Meadville, PA.
