What does the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard mean?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.

Do Nissan Armada radiators need to be cleaned?

To keep your Nissan Armada radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.

What can cause my Armada to overheat?

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

What is making my Armada radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Armada. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

There’s rust in my Armada radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Having rust in your Nissan Armada radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

When Does My 2008 Nissan Armada Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Nissan Armada radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. 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.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2008 Nissan Armada is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an 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.
