Year-round, Italy's climate is mostly mild and pleasant. Based on Milan's precipitation statistics, compiled by WeatherSpark, light or moderate springtime rain is likely to be the worst weather you'll encounter. Take a light rain jacket and water-resistant shoes. In April, temperatures change throughout the day, so wear several layers for good measure.
An antifreeze/coolant flush and fill at regular intervals can help prevent overheating, freezing and premature cooling-system corrosion. A Jiffy LubeÂ® coolant service starts with an examination of your radiator and engine cooling system.
Enter the cooling system. The cooling system is used to keep the engine from overheating. It does this by keeping the temperature at a constant so it runs more efficiently. The cooling system uses coolant to do this. Coolant is a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. When you start your engine, a water pump circulates the coolant through the engine and radiator. Once the engine has reached a certain temperature, a thermostat opens to control the flow of coolant through the radiator.
