The Importance of a Cooling System Flush

While most car owners are well aware of the need for routine maintenance, such as oil change service and tire rotations, the need for a coolant flush is often overlooked. While you may not inspect or see your fluids on a regular basis, scheduling a coolant flush is just as important as flushing out the dirt and debris from your engine oil.

One of the most important components of your system is the coolant fluid. A cooling system flush helps to ensure the engine is healthy, properly lubricated and safe. In fact, coolant is what helps to regulate the temperature of your car’s engine so you’re not at risk of overheating on the side of the road. Also referred to as antifreeze, coolant fluid needs to be flushed out on a consistent basis to remove rust and corrosion, buildup, scale deposits and contaminants that can wreak havoc on the overall system and the heater core.

Our service team recommends a cooling system flush because when we add new fluid or perform an antifreeze flush, it helps to reduce the risk of chemical buildup over time. It’s common for the coolant to break down components of your engine, especially when it’s acidic and not flushed regularly. This acid can ultimately eat away important components of your vehicle, including the rubber hoses and water pump, ultimately leading to more expensive auto repairs in the future.

When to Schedule Coolant Flush Kit Repairs

Timing a coolant flush right is a good idea. On average, the certified technicians at Spitzer Chevrolet DuBois recommend replacing coolant every 30,000 miles. However, this timeline may change due to worn-out radiator hoses or if there is a need to drain the radiator and add in radiator cleaner or new radiator fluid.

When our technicians perform a coolant flush, we inspect the engine and the cooling system for rust or acidic buildup. We also check all components of the system to detect any dirt or debris within the system, as well as leaks in hoses or even problems with the radiator cap. We carefully add the right amount of coolant and perform a radiator flush if needed.

In between service visits, there are also some signs you may notice that could indicate the need for a coolant flush sooner vs later. For instance, if you notice that the engine temperature gauge is running hot, we recommend scheduling a cooling system flush. In addition, you may also notice pools of orange or green liquid underneath the vehicle or a grinding noise when you drive. If this is the case, contact us to schedule coolant flush kit service.

You may also notice an odor or steam that stems from under the hood or bits of rust near the coolant liquid. This indicates that your engine may be at risk. Contact the service team at Spitzer Chevrolet DuBois right away to inquire about the need for a coolant flush.
