This is a Honda Civic, a very common compact car that’s known for being tough and inexpensive to keep running. The host is pointing to a specific Civic trim/body style (DX, two-door hatchback) as an example of a car that’s lasted a very long time.
Antifreeze is the fluid in your radiator/cooling system that helps keep the engine from freezing in winter and boiling over in heat. The key point here is that not all antifreeze is equally good, even if it’s marketed as long-lasting.
Your cooling system is how the car prevents the engine from overheating. It’s not only the coolant/antifreeze—there are other parts that help move heat out of the engine.
pH balance is a way to describe how acidic or basic the coolant is. The right balance helps prevent rust and corrosion inside the engine’s cooling passages.
The host uses a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser as an example of a cooling-system job. They’re saying you sometimes have to take out parts like the radiator and thermostat to figure out what’s wrong.
The host talks about a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK where the car’s computer noticed a thermostat problem. Instead of only being found by a mechanic, it triggered a warning light to tell you something’s wrong.
The ALDL connector is a plug used to connect diagnostic equipment to the car. It lets a mechanic read detailed information from the car’s computer, especially when troubleshooting cooling problems.
A scan tool is what mechanics plug in to read the car’s computer messages. It can show what the cooling system is doing so you can diagnose the problem correctly.
A serpentine belt is a single belt that powers important engine accessories. If it comes off, the coolant pump can stop, and the engine can overheat fast.
The radiator is the heat exchanger that dumps heat from the coolant to the air. The host warns that radiators can clog internally—especially from the bottom up—reducing cooling capacity without necessarily looking dirty from the top.
Calcium buildup is mineral scale that can collect inside the cooling system. It can block the radiator’s passages so coolant can’t cool the engine as well.
A service light is a dashboard warning that tells you something needs attention. The host is saying cooling issues can get bad without that light coming on.
The host is referring to Dodge Caravans used as service vehicles. The idea is that replacing the radiator regularly helped prevent overheating and kept them going for a very long time.
The thermostat is like a temperature-controlled gate for coolant. If it fails, the engine may overheat (stuck closed) or not cool/heat correctly (stuck open).
The water pump moves coolant around the engine. If it fails, coolant can stop flowing and the engine can overheat—often you’ll see coolant leaking or dripping.
Hoses move coolant through the cooling system. Over time heat and sun can make them break down internally, causing leaks even if they don’t look bad outside.
The serpentine belt is the main belt that powers important engine accessories. If it breaks or falls off, the car can lose cooling and you can get stranded.
Topic
400 series highways
The host mentions Canada’s 400-series highways to make a point: if your belt or cooling system fails, you can end up stranded on a busy highway fast.
An automatic transmission is the part that shifts gears automatically. It uses fluid to keep everything lubricated and cool, so if the fluid gets dirty or overheats, problems can start sooner.
Stop-and-go traffic is when you’re constantly slowing down and speeding up. It makes the car run hotter for longer, which can be harder on the transmission and its fluid.
A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that changes “gears” smoothly without fixed steps. It relies on the right fluid to work correctly, so old or overheated fluid can cause problems.
The Nissan Rogue is a common family crossover. In this segment, the host warns that if your Rogue has a CVT, you should keep up with transmission fluid changes because heat and dirty fluid can lead to expensive issues.
Transmission oil is the fluid that keeps the transmission’s moving parts from grinding and overheating. If it turns dark or smells burnt, it usually means it’s worn out and not protecting the transmission well anymore.
A rebuild means the transmission gets taken apart and repaired with replacement parts. It’s usually much more expensive than regular maintenance, so it’s better to fix the problem early.
If the transmission starts shifting in a rough or jerky way, that’s a warning sign. It can mean the fluid isn’t doing its job anymore or parts inside are wearing out.

Yeah, the switches kind of sort of turn only halfway on so double check your order, get your
morning beverage ready. We'll have a morning swiggy in just a moment. This morning we're going to be
talking about the cooling system boogie man. Yes, yes he's out there and as the heat moves on,
I think I've heard that somewhere before. Or is it the heat is on? Yes, the heat is on. That's
the weather coming up as well in just a moment so prepare your morning swiggy beverage and we'll
quickly get through our housekeeping rules so that those who are joining us for the very first
time thanks for being here. You have 211 podcasts to catch up on and the remainder of that will

you'll find us there. We're on iHeartRadio, Amazon, Spotify and did I miss one? Podbean and
podbean so thanks for joining us. It's Monday through Friday. It's about a half hour show,
maybe 40 minutes if you pinch my arm a little bit or we get into a conversation. Fridays are
fun Fridays and Saturday a whole hour Q&A session so I pulled three questions from the
questions that come in from you, our loyal listeners here on this podcast, More Mouse Morning Drive.
Your questions need to be in the hopper by noon on Friday to have a possibility of having your
question pulled and reviewed and opened in detail Saturday morning for Saturday mornings Q&A so

over 20 not 20 years seven years and they have about 20,000 visits a month so it was her way
being living in Stevensville and I have friends and family in Stevensville bringing the local
businesses together with the community so we she has set us up under automotive experts and on all
our social media platforms that's where you'll find reels bloopers and outtakes you won't see
anywhere else. On our YouTube channel I spend time teaching and showing you on vehicles hands on
five things what it is the component where the component is what it does so how it works and
how you broke it and why that's costing you money and what I can teach you is the basic fundamentals
of owning and operating an automobile just the basics all the basics you know where the breaks
are where the shocks are what are struts what's this what's that and what does it do and how does
it wear out and what do you how do you service it or replace it you get to see all those things on
our YouTube channel we have hundreds of videos for you three new videos come out every single week
two on Tuesday so the new ones are out on Tuesday and you get another new one on Friday so we're
finishing off a couple of series right now on vehicles that have needed some upgrades and that's
where you learn stuff so no matter what age group size dimensions single widowed divorced on your

serviced or replaced so let's dive into our morning swiggy so if you haven't subscribed yet
for a YouTube channel do so if you think you're subscribed please do us a favor and check we're
at the halfway point of getting to our first 1000 subscribers and Skippy and I are reaching out to
you to get us there by the 30th of July that would be such a thrill for us and putting in 80 plus hours
a week to build everything that we're working on to help you get a better understanding of your
automobile and save time effort energy stress and money all at the same time because owning
an older automobile and automobiles get older every day even when you're making payments
and they're not reliable so we have to make them reliable they're not infallible folks they just
are not they would require and demand attention from you and when you when the vehicle doesn't
get the attention trust me the topic we have this morning the cooling system boogeyman oh yeah
we're gonna i'm gonna enlighten you on that one because the cooling system is the boogeyman
yep absolutely that is an area that we've deemed in the industry number one the number one
most neglected system on all automobiles the cooling system and i'll tell you
you're gonna learn about the boogeyman the cooling system boogeyman this morning and also
our motor mouth a summer tech tip is number nine transmissions are sweating too in this heat so in
this heat heat is the enemy already under the hood and all the components that make up your
automobile and then we add the outside heat to it as well goody goody not really we have to be
prepared so raise your beverage let's say thank you to mama louise and earl grant at city auto
sales and leasing for bringing us our morning swiggy together and our daily weather report
providing you with a safe location and an amazing vehicle purchase experience
at city auto sales and leasing that's what you're going to get being able to buy with confidence
be treated with nothing less than honesty and integrity you can't buy that honesty and integrity
low mileage quality vehicles at fair prices they don't bring in any junk from any of the resources
that they have built over 25 years in the pre-owned vehicle sales greater toronto areas premiere
pre-owned auto store in-house leasing and financing available so if you don't see on their website
a vehicle that you're particularly interested in let Earl hunt it down for you through the resources
they have if there's if that vehicle is out there and it's any good Earl will grab it for you
but if they're not he's going to tell you he might want to just sit back wait a little bit until
the goodies come to the market if you know what i mean exactly so low mileage quality vehicles
you're going to have an amazing vehicle purchasing experience there it's well worth
if you got to drive two days and take your toothbrush and your jammies well worth to go there
second largest investment you're going to make in your lifetime buying a home and purchasing an
automobile and being able to get it get another vehicle from someone who's got your back you can't
buy that referral it's priceless so on 321 if you're joining us for the first time this
how we do it raise your favorite cup of morning beverage and yes i did find my morning beverage
mug yesterday if you were wondering if i kept you in suspenders it was just outside the studio door
on the top of the studio mailbox on the lid and i must have put it there because my hands were full
and i couldn't get the door handle and i have the seniors door handles you know where you can get them
with your your elbow or your foot or your chin whatever and get them open i really like those
handles instead of the twisty ones you just it's like a little arm yeah i must have set it down
and like totally did not pay attention it was still there yeah and it was cold
so on 321 you ready 321
fabulous that was a whole lot better than yesterday was a nothing burger
man i looked high and low i could not find it then i was coming up the stairs
to the studio and i'm looking right at it and i started laughing and i'm going
it probably only happens to me so thank you to our friends Kathy Dave and Dan Grimo
and Niagara block met their son yesterday michael came here he's going to do some
electricals for us and get our compressor that's been sitting there for two years
and four electricians later that said they do it hook it up and tidy it's never
been running it's brand spanking new might even be longer might be four years it's going to be
great to have it working so michael grimoz going to take care of that for us so great to be connected
with people that can get things done so if you're looking to create a beautiful backyard scape
for yourself hardscape landscaping materials galore are readily available at niger block
5000 montrels road they've been building canada since 1931 i wonder if they've had a coffee break
or a lunch break who knows we'll find out but if you need a contractor to build you stuff they
they make the blocks right there beautiful blocks they have everything you can think of
the metal the rebar and also everything every item you're going to need to create that beautiful
backyard space you can call your outdoor living space including if you need a contractor
kathy grimo would be your contact to set you up with a contractor that can design estimate
start the job finish the job and create that beautiful space for you to enjoy if you or someone
you know is struggling with finances whether it be investments carrying debt estate planning
ranging a mortgage life insurance critical illness insurance all those topics that i just
mentioned meant not many of us like to sit and talk about them so you can get yourself a discovery
meeting with tony mealy or larry tito our certified financial planning professionals
will sit down with you and bring some clarity to the questions that you have and these guys
over 50 years experience they're both my brothers from other mothers and my personal financial
planners and i'll tell you this leave your wallet leave your money at home get that hour in a coffee
discovery meeting and go and get your questions answered so before you do an opinion poll folks
and i will share some of my own story and it's creepy it's financially creepy what's out there
tony mealy and larry tito um they're going to be winding down soon and they've been with
us since 2007 and have helped a lot of people dig out of some pretty deep holes so when you think
it's over it's not don't give up i'm not giving up on you book that hour in a coffee
or honesty and integrity that's what you got to deliver and they're not going to be
condemning you for anything we all make mistakes so leave your money at home they're not going
to be asking you for any money they just want to find out where you're at what's on your plate
and how they can help you all right the daily weather here it is let's read it it's been
stinking hot hasn't it it is summertime here in the uh golden horseshoe in the south shores
of lake iri up on the rainometer today r a i n it's 0.35 of an inch here in the niger region
69 degrees right now and mostly sunny it feels warmer about 70 degrees partly cloudy conditions
from 4 p.m to 5 p.m with rain expected early evening 6 p.m so today's temperature range will hit
68 to 84 make sure you're beveraged and you have your nelly with you your umberelly nelly
and it's going to feel more like 68 to 85 so yesterday we topped out at 84 degrees we will
match that today again our high will be 84 degrees as well so we've got some uh in the
niger region we've got some rain on the rainometer uh you might want to make sure you plan ahead for
that and adjust your driving habits to the road conditions our car connection maintenance schedule

get to a campus nearest them is what they've they've been doing for 25 years now is changing
lives one at a time well let's jump into our topic this morning because time is of the essence
so they say the cooling system boogeyman and when i say it like that i really mean it because this
is an area that will absolutely destroy your wallet your savings account your entire nervous system
exactly so listen up get your crayons ready that 16 pack of crayolas always good to perform
and a nice beautiful pressed down leaf bag best memo pad ever for drawing doodling whatever you
want there's lots of geography to to take your notes if you can't take notes you can listen
re-listen and watch on our youtube channel and the link is in the top right hand corner of our
homepage at ccbusnet.com pay close attention folks to the descriptions of our youtube videos and
podcasts i put that all together myself and edit those and i put a lot more automotive tech tips in
there that you will not have heard on the video or seen on the video or heard on the podcast so i
put some more nuggets in there for you to learn more basics so let's jump in the cooling system
boogeyman and it's five things i have five things to give you it's not just about antifreeze and i
wanted to bring that right to the forefront folks because a lot of you think it's just about antifreeze
no no no plus no times no divided by no it's no that's just a small portion of your cooling system
just because they told you was lifetime antifreeze and i would highly recommend you go to our youtube
channel and in the very first 20 videos skippy and i ever put together i did a whole series on antifreeze
testing it what we're testing for and i went to the store and i actually bought gallons of antifreeze
at the retail outlets the little store with the red triangle even and you'll have to see the results
of testing brand new antifreeze that failed right in the container so you'll get all the details
how much knowledge can come from understanding antifreeze and it is not antifreeze that lasts 225
thousand kilometers or 150 it's lifetime antifreeze you need to watch
those videos and you'll have your eyes wide open afterwards wide open because it's cooling system
is not just about antifreeze that's just one of the items that makes up the cooling system so it's
not all your cooling systems not all hanging on the quality of the antifreeze so we need to test
that on a regular basis for the boiling point and the freeze point the acid corrosion level
ph balance and alkalinity and when you watch those videos you'll see i'm testing for all those
conditions of the antifreeze whether it's in the vehicle already or right in the jug and i have found
a number of manufacturers selling antifreeze that's supposed to be good for five years and it's
date stamped three years old already in the jug so how old is it do you have five years left on that
jug that's already date stamped three years old nope no you don't fire beware nobody's watching
out for you but i am i've been carving this lane out for 44 years and 32 years on on the horn that's
what i call it i'm on the horn this morning almost wasn't we've been having some issues but just pray
for us we're getting through it pushing through it it's all about gigabytes the
gigabytes baby so antifreeze is just one portion number two the overall system condition that's
what we're going to be talking about as we move forward with the five things to beat the cooling
system boogie man so it's everything in the vehicle's cooling system that is a must work
together program any particular component that makes up your vehicle's cooling system will take
you out very quickly and it can and most times causes major engine damage from overheating because
aluminum is not forgiving and we have a lot of engine parts now and a lot of engines that are
built out of aluminum and they do not like to be overheated and they're not very forgiving
so if you think about your cooling system it's not a big deal you're right it's not a big deal
it's a huge deal and if you watch uh the youtube videos just recently the last month or two uh
taking our 2007 fj cruiser apart at the cooling system level pulled the radiator out thermostat
hoses the whole nine yards you need to watch those videos so i show you and talk about why i do that
on a regular basis yes you've got to get a better understanding and a grip you got to get a grip
on your vehicle's cooling system because that's the area that is going to make or break the idea that
all of a sudden you've got to make a decision to get another vehicle and you're financially strapped
and fixing the one you have is beyond fixing because the cooling system failed overheated and
here's what you have to keep in mind you're not just overheating the engine you're cooking the
transmission at the same time because they share the same cooling system to keep the oils cool
and when the oils get above temperature that they run at normally that's when stuff breaks
that's when things burn out inside your automatic transmission so if you're running your engine hot
you're running your automatic transmission hot too so it's a double whammy cook the engine take
the transmission with it number three i call this the cooling system ninja
because it will sneak up on you ever so slowly that you don't even notice that your vehicle's
not running at normal operating temperature and not all vehicles are going to flag you
we had a two uh we did shot a video on a 2018 Jeep uh i think it was a Jeep Wrangler JK
doesn't matter it's 3.6 Panistar that's the first time i've ever seen um an onboard computer
flag a thermostat and put the service light on and let you know that there's something wrong with
the thermostat because in most cases it's up to the tech to go in through the ALDL connector
so put the scan tool on there the engine analyzer not the little handheld unit a full analyzer so
that we can see um what the cooling system is running at and if the voltages and the temperature
are normal and that's why i call it the cooling system ninja because you may think just because
you're not seeing coolant on your driveway you're not smelling something weird uh coming out or steam
coming out under the hood that your cooling system's top drawer it's not and i can guarantee you that
nine out of ten vehicles if i went to walmart this afternoon and put a green sticker on 10
10 windshields and we checked every one of those cars cooling system we're going to find a minimum
eight out of ten have cooling system issues and you're just on the verge of having cooling system
failure catastrophic failure so it will creep up on you ever so slowly belts and hoses they're important
they house the coolant the water the water pump is driven by the belt the serpentine drive belt
that baby pops off your engine goes into super overheat in less than 12 minutes it's actually
around 33 minutes and you're steaming and you've just possibly caused some serious
mechanical failure on top of that number four it ain't just the radiator age that takes it out
it's that the radiators they plug up with calcium from the bottom up so we can't see it
it's not possible unless we cut the radiator in half lengthwise then we can see the tube so if you
you are able to see the the tubes on the top of the radiator they always look pretty clean
but radiators plug up from the bottom up and then you start losing this is where the cooling system
ninja comes in you start losing cooling system capacity and there's no service light for that
ding ding ding so an engineer that I had a chance to have coffee with a number of years ago
he told me this and it is a great idea and I do it myself every 100000 kilometers
you want that radiator out of there and chuck it in the scrap bin and put a brand new one in
if you want to keep your vehicle going long term that's what the engineer said and he was an engineer
that was running at that time for bell canada they were running a test on running dodge minivans
as the service vehicles for bell canada and he said how we're getting high mileage out of them is
every hundred k whether it's leaking or not the radiator comes out we put a brand new radiator
in each and every one of those service fans he says that's how we can get 700
thousand k out of those dodge caravans running as service maintenance vehicles that was a great
piece of advice and I've done that as a test 10000 k pull the radiator out cut
it with my saws all in half and he's absolutely right between a third to two thirds of the
radiators plugged up with calcium which reduces the cooling system its ability to properly cool
the engine until it can't so that's another cooling system ninja and that's where the boogeyman
begins and number five the thermostat can and water pump and hoses can let go any time after
a hundred k so that's an area where thermostats we used to replace every 24 months nobody's doing
it anymore because you're not you're not seeing the cooling system ninja and that's where the system's
going to lie and where the system's going to let you down because belts and hoses by gates canada
major company that produces those components belts and hoses are good for two years regardless of
mileage it's uv rays and heat that decay the hoses and they rot from the inside out not the outside
in so you can't see visually what's going on so we need to replace those out every 24 months if you
don't want the cooling system ninja to take you out with the cooling system boogeyman shows up
so thermostats every two years again on most vehicles you will not get a service light it's
where we have to look and see if the thermostat is operating or not and it can slam shut at
any time or stick wide open without notice water pump same thing it's good today tomorrow
i'm leaving antifreeze everywhere i go it's dripping from somewhere that's the water pump
signal that it has failed completely hoses i just talked about that as well clamps they rot
they rust they get weak and that's where cooling system leaks come from and the belt condition gets
ignored usually until it's left on the roadway on the 400 series highways i can't tell you how many
times i've seen somebody serpentine belt laying on a 400 series highway and you know that they didn't
make it much further than where the belt came off because that's when the cooling system boogeyman
will destroy all your travel plans fast so cooling system we have a lot of videos walking
you through what the cooling system looks like from the inside out and what we're looking for
ahead of time so that the cooling system boogeyman doesn't get you right this morning's
motormouth summer tech tip is entitled transmissions are sweating too i just talked about that didn't
i yes you're cooking the cooling system in the engine you're cooking your automatic transmission
at the same time well motor mouth here with a hot one literally summer heat makes your
transmission work harder especially in stop and go traffic if your fluid's dark or smells burnt
it's time to change it i don't care whether it's synthetic or not if you have a nissan
rogue with a cvt transmission you need to be changing that transmission oil every 30 000 miles
50 000 k unless you want to be one of the like 20 or 25 rogue sitting on stilts in the u-pullet
wrecking yard that i saw this week on wednesday and the transmissions are if they're there they're
done if they're if they're missing somebody's hoping that they found theirself a good one and
they're pulling it out themselves and they have no idea whether it's any good or not so if you want
to keep your transmission happy and long term some of them go as high as 16 000 the cheap ones are
around 6000 to rebuild so don't wait until the shifts get clunky your transmission deserves some
summer lovin too so till tomorrow join us again for another motor mouth morning drive at 8 a.m happy
healthy motoring friends peace patience and kindness always and we'll see you in the next one bye for now
About this episode
The hosts kick off with workshop-style banter, then pivot to the “cooling system boogeyman”—why cooling systems are often the most neglected car system and how heat can turn small issues into road-trip killers. They frame cooling as a money-saver topic: catching problems early prevents overheating, major engine damage, and expensive repairs. The show also includes a summer tech note about transmissions “sweating” in hot weather, plus listener Q&A logistics and plug-ins for local partners and the podcast’s YouTube learning series.
Your Cooling system is more than just antifreeze in a radiator, It is a complete system that works together to protect your engine, transmission, and your travel plans.
In this episode of Motormouth's Morning Drive, Nile Jenkins breaks down 5 Things every vehicle owner needs to understandabout the cooling system Bogeyman:
1) Why overall cooling system condition matters more than one single component
2) How hidden failures can sneak up and leave you stranded
3) why the 'cooling system Ninja" can strike when you least expect it.
4) Why radiator age matters even when there are no visible leaks.
5) Why thermostats, water pumps, hoses, clamps, belts and belt condition must be inspected before failure happens.
Remember: vehicles usually do not warn you before a cooling system failure becomes expensive. There may be no warning light before damage occurs.
Maintenance Matters. Mileage Matters. Age Matters. Whatever comes first.
Knowledge is not luck - luck is Labouring Under Correct Knowledge.
