Why Do You Need Coolant Flush Service?

Keeping your car in top condition requires routine maintenance, and of many auto services, the one that’s often overlooked is the coolant flush. Your car engine operates under extreme conditions, which can cause overheating, so to maintain the performance and longevity of the vehicle, it’s necessary to maintain it at an optimal temperature. Antifreeze, or coolant, plays a significant role in doing so. It keeps the engine and its various components cool and prevents it from breaking down in hot and cold weather. Read on to learn more about coolant flush service, its importance and how often you should get this service with our experts at S&B Keswick Motors.

What is the Importance of Coolant Flush Service?

A routine and consistent coolant or antifreeze flush service helps prevent engine overheating. Over time, the coolant gets contaminated and loses its efficiency in regulating the engine temperature, requiring a regular flush service. In addition, a coolant flush service is important to protect the different engine components, such as the radiator and water pump, from rusting and scaling. This service also helps improve the system’s efficiency and adds to the overall lifespan of the vehicle. 

How Often Should You Get an Antifreeze Flush Service?

Ideally, you should get a coolant flush service every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometres or every two to five years (whichever comes first). However, this can change depending on various factors, including your driving style, driving conditions, and the specific make and model of your vehicle.
