Why do I have to keep replacing my coolant?
The coolant can become more acidic over time and lose its rust-inhibiting properties, causing corrosion. If the corrosion inhibitors have deteriorated, the antifreeze coolant should be changed.
What happens if you don’t replace engine coolant?
The answer: nothing good. Coolant circulates through your car and extracts heat from various components, keeping their operating temperature within normal parameters. Without coolant, there’s nothing to extract this heat, and these parts quickly overheat and break down.
