Most people don't give engine coolant temperature much thought until the engine has overheated and potentially been damaged.

However, there is a bit to understand about what range of temperature you should ideally target, and this will vary depending on the application. In this webinar, we'll cover what you need to know.

This is just 1 of over 300 lessons on a HUGE range of topics that HPA Gold Members have access to.
