Is It Time for Service on My 2018 Nissan 370Z Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Nissan 370Z radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2018 Nissan 370Z is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.

When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
