The engine comprises several components that work together and generate excess heat as it runs. The cooling system helps regulate the heat to avoid overheating and breaking down. The cooling system does this by pumping coolant fluid through your engine block to cool the engine and carry the heat through hoses to your radiator. Coolant's primary role is to keep your engine temperatures low.

How is a Cooling System Flush Performed?

Your cooling system should be flushed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles or two years, and the coolant levels should be checked with every oil change. A radiator flush or coolant flush is performed by:

• Allowing the engine and radiator to cool off
• Draining the existing coolant from your vehicle's radiator
• Pouring in radiator flush product
• Draining the radiator to remove sediment and rust
• Refilling the radiator channel with a fresh coolant mix (typically water and anti-freeze).

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Coolant Flush

The coolant will break down over time, and the level drops. The fluid becomes too dirty, or the engine places too much debris into the coolant, making it unable to do its job. The following signs will indicate that you need a coolant flush.

• Vehicle Running Hot And Overheating
• Steaming Hood
• Coolant Leak or Discoloration
• Coolant Level Low
• Cracks or Leaks
