What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Oldsmobile?

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.

What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor?

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.

Can Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera radiators be cleaned?

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

Why is my Cutlass Ciera overheating?

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

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

There could be air pockets in your Cutlass Ciera’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).

Should I be concerned about rust in my Cutlass Ciera radiator?

Yes. Having rust in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera 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 to Service Your 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. 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.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Oldsmobile recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain 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 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.

What does radiator repair include? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera cooling system.
