OEM Radiators

How Car Radiators Work

The radiator in your vehicle is an important part of the cooling system that helps regulate the engine’s temperature to prevent it from overheating. The internal combustion engine produces a lot of heat as it operates, and if left unchecked, that heat could cause significant damage to other engine components. The main job of the radiator is to release the heat from the engine’s coolant, which absorbs heat from the engine block and other hot pieces like cylinder heads.

Why Do Car Radiators Go Bad?

Over time, the radiator’s metal components may corrode due to moisture and oxygen, which can lead to leaks. Damage from road debris or rocks can also cause leaks. Another common reason for a radiator to go bad is the mineral buildup and contaminants from the coolant can create blockages, reducing the ability to cool properly. Some other reasons include:

• Pressure issues
• Vibration and wear
• Age and wear
• Coolant contamination
• Lack of maintenance
