What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Buick?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.

Do Buick Regal Sportback radiators need to be cleaned?

Cleaning your car shouldn’t be limited to the parts you can see. Regular cleaning is good for your radiator, too! When you take your Buick Regal Sportback in for routine maintenance or service, it could be a good idea to opt for a radiator cleaning, too.

What is making my Regal Sportback radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?

When to Service Your 2020 Buick Regal Sportback Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Buick Regal Sportback radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important.

In fact, Buick recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
