7 warning signs that you need more car coolant

We all know that Florida gets super hot and humid, and summertime is in full swing at Toyota of Clermont. With that wave of summer heat, comes blasting your AC to the max! The last thing we want for you is to have to suffer sitting in traffic with no breeze and your AC not working because of a lack of car coolant. Luckily, we have seven warning signs for you so that you never have to go through that! 

#1 Temperature gauge gone wild. 

If everything is going A-okay in your car, then the temperature gauge should be in the middle. However, if something has gone awry with the temperature gauge, and you find it going up and down, then this could be a sign that you need more car coolant ASAP!

#2 Leaking car coolant. 

This should be the number one sign that something is going on under the hood. The colors to look out for on the road are green, orange, and pink leakage. This is a surefire sign of a car coolant leak. Just note that the fluid is toxic, so be sure that your children and pets are safe from this liquid. If you see any leaking of any kind, you should take your car to the Toyota of Clermont auto service techs to check it out.


Baby, it’s cold outside


#3 Heater just stops. 

If the heater won’t come on and you’re left freezing, then this could mean that you have a blockage of the car coolant in your engine. The Toyota of Clermont auto service techs can check your coolant levels to help you stay toasty in your car again!

#5 Dashboard lit up. 

Not all Toyota of Clermont cars will alert you when you need more car coolant, but for the lucky ones that will say it — you’ll have a light indicator! Pretty nifty! 


#6 Gas guzzlin’.

If your Toyota car suddenly starts sucking all of your gas away and it becomes a black hole in your wallet, then your lack of coolant might be the problem at bay. If you don’t have a proper amount of coolant, then this makes the Toyota of Clermont car run a lot hotter than normal. 


#7 Your Toyota car just stops.

If your car randomly stops, then that means that it’s overheated. If there is not enough car coolant to cool things off in the engine, then your Toyota car will shut off so it doesn’t overheat on you. Overheating can cause a multitude of issues that are a pain.
