Why Does My Vehicle Need Coolant Services?
There are a number of reasons why your vehicle needs coolant services, a few of them being:
- Temperature Regulation: To prevent overheating, the coolant in your engine helps maintain optimal operating temperature.
- Corrosion Protection: Coolant protects metal parts inside the engine from corrosion. Without fresh coolant, these parts will corrode faster.
- Fuel Efficiency: If your engine is too hot or too cold, your vehicle will consume more fuel.
- Coolant Leaks: One of the first signs of low coolant is coolant leaks. Coolant has a sweet smell similar to maple syrup, so if you smell this in your car, it could be a sign of a leak.
- Extreme Weather Protection: Coolant has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than water, and its circulation helps protect your vehicle during extreme weather conditions.
What Is a Coolant Flush?
A coolant flush is a service that drains and replaces the antifreeze in a vehicle's cooling system. Flushing the coolant in your vehicles removes rust, sediment, and scale deposits that can cause overheating. The steps to a coolant flush are:
- Old coolant is drained from the radiator and engine block.
- The cooling system is flushed to remove any debris or old coolant residue.
- Our technicians will check the belts, hoses, and water pumps for signs of water damage.
- A fresh mixture of coolant and water will be deposited into the system.
Checking the owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website will give you a better understanding of when to have your coolant flushed, and the general rule of thumb is to have it inspected every two to three years or every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
