An important aspect of owning a vehicle is staying up-to-date with maintenance to make sure that every part and system is working properly and efficiently. Your car’s cooling system is one of the most critical elements since it regulates the temperature of the engine and radiator. Therefore, you must have the system flushed every so often to avoid sediment and rust build-up. If you’re wondering how often you should get a coolant flush, then you’re in the right place.
The purpose of your car’s engine coolant is to circulate through the engine and radiator to keep them cool. It does so by absorbing and transferring heat throughout the engine block. If your vehicle’s cooling system is not properly maintained, your engine may be in great danger.
An issue with your car’s cooling system can cause major damage or even total failure to your engine. That’s why it is crucial to keep up with regular cooling system maintenance. A coolant flush is the process of adding cleaner to the system in order to get rid of sediment and rust. The system is then flushed completely and new antifreeze is added along with a conditioner to protect against corrosion.
If you are wondering about your car’s cooling system maintenance interval, you can refer to your owner’s manual to find out what the manufacturer recommends. In general, most vehicles require coolant service every 30,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first.
