When engines work, they produce a lot of heat because of all the little explosions that occur. This means that it has to be cooled in order to work properly. The cooling system takes away heat from the engine by constantly circulating coolant in a closed loop. But what happens if the engine starts to overheat? Well, the answer may be different from what you expect because the issue isn't always the cooling system. We will look at a couple different reasons why your engine is overheating, so make sure you continue to read. Low Coolant Level One of the things that can make your engine overheat is a low coolant level. If there is almost no coolant in the loop, heat can't be transferred to it, so it can be cooled. Most of the time, it even starts to evaporate, leading to more problems. Low Oil Level Just like the coolant, your engine's oil is also responsible for keeping it at a certain temperature. The main difference is that it is in a cl ... read more
