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

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.

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

When to Service Your 1993 Dodge Colt Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Dodge Colt radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1993 Dodge Colt is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Dodge recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
