When Does My 2006 Dodge Magnum Radiator Need Service?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Dodge Magnum radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

To keep your radiator functioning, Dodge 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.
