Your Buick Skylark radiator is essential to your engine. Part of your cooling system, the Skylark radiator resides in the front of your engine bay, where it serves to lower the temperature of the heated coolant circulating through your engine and prevent overheating. Care and maintenance of your Buick Skylark radiator is important to ensure a long life for your engine, since overheating can cause serious and sometimes permanent damage.

One of the things you should do for your Skylark radiator is to perform regular flushing and cleaning according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This prevents buildup of rust and debris that can occur inside the passages of your Buick Skylark radiator, causing blockage.

You should also ensure that your cooling system has enough coolant by checking the level in the overflow tank, rather than opening your Skylark radiator. Over time your radiator and associated components are subject to damage from rust and wear. You should periodically check your Skylark radiator, radiator hose, and water pump for signs of leaks. You can check the condition of your radiator hose by squeezing both the upper and lower hose while your engine is cold. Your Skylark radiator hose should be fairly firm; if it is too soft, it may begin to leak. If your car does overheat while driving due to a faulty radiator, you can try setting the heater on the highest temperature and turning the blower on full to keep your engine cool enough to reach your destination. However, this is a temporary solution and you will need to replace your Skylark radiator right away.You'll find a full line of radiators and radiator components in our vast online catalogue.
