Car Radiators

How do I go green?

Get the most out of your radiator by keeping it topped up with the proper mixture of antifreeze and de-ionized water (not tap water). Drive less, to prolong the life of all components.

Buying used or refurbished is almost always a better bet for the environment, as it prevents the extraction of further resources from the earth.

Contact facilities directly regarding restrictions and charges.

    • The Environmental Story

    Radiators must be filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze, which is made of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. Both of these petroleum based products are poisonous and a danger to the environment.
