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

If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.

What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor?

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 Chevrolet Lumina APV radiators need to be cleaned?

Air pockets in your Lumina APV’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.

Yes. Having rust in your Chevrolet Lumina APV radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure.

When to Service Your 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Chevrolet Lumina APV radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Chevrolet recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
