Yes, Car manufacturer already calculated for normal use.
Unless you are modding for Race, then many things to upgrade.....

You will notice the radiator fan going on and off (without air con). When on means hot and needs to be cooled, and when off means coolant within heat limit.
With air con on, most radiator fan are override to cool the air con also..... smile_tongue.gif


thanks for precious input again smile_thumbup.gif

My philosophy is, when nothing is wrong, don't touch it......... smile_big.gif
Check your hoses, especially the top one, because that is the return hose from engine to radiator and that carries very hot coolant. The lower hose is from radiator to engine and carries cooled coolant. If hoses have hardened then change them.
For radiator, as long as no leaks, leave it alone.
Change your radiator water and add coolant yearly or every 2 years..... smile_wink.gif

Radiator is very important leh! I check at least once a month the level of the coolant..... smile_tongue.gif
Don't wait until the radiator coolant goes rusty then the internal may be damaged...... smile_blackeye.gif
