If you notice the temperature gauge going up in your car while you're driving in El Reno, you need to safely stop your vehicle so that it can cool off. One way to try to salvage your motor is by turning off your air conditioner and turning on the defroster to hot. When the heater is on, the hot air under your hood will be pulled through, helping to cool off the motor.
Look for any leaks in the coolant system itself. An evident sign that there is a problem is coolant on the ground. Pay attention to how much coolant you have to keep adding to your car. If you're going through gallons each month, then you likely have an internal leak that should be addressed by Diffee Lincoln.
A radiator fan that doesn't come on when it needs to or doesn't come on at all can cause your engine to overheat. Listen for the fan to come on as the temperature gauge begins to rise. If you don't hear it, then you need to determine if there is a fuse that's gone bad or if there's an issue with the fan itself.
