When to Service Your 1997 Infiniti QX4 Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Infiniti QX4 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1997 Infiniti QX4 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Infiniti recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
