Is It Time for Service on My 2010 Honda CR-V Cooling System?

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

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2010 Honda CR-V is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Honda recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.

As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
