When should my Lexus GS350 radiator be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Lexus GS350 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What is causing my GS350 to overheat?

Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Lexus GS350 engine to overheat.

Why does the radiator in my GS350 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

Air pockets in your GS350’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.

Is rust in my GS350 radiator bad?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Lexus GS350 can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

When to Service Your 2014 Lexus GS350 Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Lexus GS350 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2014 Lexus GS350 is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Lexus recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
