When to Service Your 1991 Ford Taurus Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Ford Taurus radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for.

To keep your radiator functioning, Ford 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.
