Shopping for a new vehicle involves more than picking out the best make and model for your lifestyle and striking a great deal. Most buyers also need to arrange to finance the vehicle, and fortunately, your local dealership can help. There are advantages to financing through your local Honda dealer. more Your Engine Is Overheating Overheating is one of the most serious problems for any engine. Your Kia has an efficient cooling system designed to control the heat while allowing the engine to operate at an effective temperature. Your engine temperature should sit around the mid-point on the temperature gauge, although it will temporarily climb when you accelerate or drive uphill. If your engine temperature is climbing for no obvious reason, it's in danger of overheating. An engine that gets too hot can result in a blown head gasket, warped cylinders, or damaged pistons. To prevent damage, pull over as soon as it's safe to do so and allow your engine to cool. Our technicians will examine your engine and find and fix the problem. Low Oil Your engine depends on a continual flow of oil for several reasons. Oil lubricates all the moving parts, allowing them to move faster and protecting them from damage. The oil flow helps to reduce the temperature and removes dirt and grime from the engine. The oil is pumped through your engine by the oil pump. At the end of its cycle, it passes through the oil filter that traps dirt and debris. Low oil could be due to natural wastage. Engine oil is consumed as it passes through the system, and gradually your oil level will drop. A lack of oil will increase the engine temperature, allow dirt to build up in the engine, and cause friction damage to various components. We'll test for any signs of a leak and repair it if we find one. We'll also refill your oil. Broken Thermostat The thermostat is a small valve in your engine that controls the flow of coolant. Coolant is vital for your engine, as it absorbs the heat generated by the constantly moving parts. The coolant is pumped to the radiator where the heat is removed. The constant flow of coolant helps to keep your engine temperature under control. If the thermostat fails, it will release no coolant or too much coolant. A lack of coolant will cause your engine to overheat in minutes. We can easily check the thermostat and replace a damaged one in minutes. If your engine isn't working as efficiently as it used to, call us at Superior Kia to schedule a service appointment soon. Image courtesy of Antoni Shkraba via Pexels
