When to Service Your 2004 Mercury Marauder Cooling System

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

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2004 Mercury Marauder is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Mercury 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. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
