Is It Time for Service on My 2016 Lexus RC350 Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Lexus RC350 radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2016 Lexus RC350 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Lexus recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific 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.
