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.
Luckily it only takes a second to check your coolant level. Most cars these days have a translucent coolant overflow tank right next to the radiator. It's white plastic, but you can see inside to see if there's enough juice to keep things safe. You'll also see markings on the side telling you the low and high levels to work with. Always check your coolant level when the car is cold. If you happen to have an older vehicle without a visible overflow and fill tank, you'll have to check the antifreeze / coolant level by looking into the radiator. There is no dipstick or other meter to tell you whether you have enough coolant in the radiator on these older vehicles.
