Check your coolant. If it's all sludgey and brown looking, replace it. Also check your oil. If your oil looks creamy and looks like a milkshake, you are in some trouble. You would need to flush the oil system and replace your intake manifold gaskets. Otherwise the overheating could be a bad thermostat. Also check and see if there is debris on front of your radiator.

I just checked the oil and it is nice and clear. I did just get an oil change last week though. It's dark and I just got home so I can't check the coolant until tomorrow. I am gonna work from home tomorrow so I can do it then. I will take it to get checked this weekend as well.
