Coolant Flush and Fill: The Service that Keeps Your Engine from Overheating

Cars have all kinds of fluids that need to be properly maintained for quality performance; coolant is among the most important. Staying on top of coolant service can help prevent engine damage and keep your car's powertrain running strong.

How Coolant Works

Engine coolant, which can also be called antifreeze, is a fluid that's engineered to effectively absorb heat and stabilize engine temperature. The water pump pushes fluid through the engine to absorb excess heat from friction and combustion. From there, it runs out to the radiator to dissipate the heat from the engine bay.

Important Coolant Replacement and Repairs

Routinely draining old coolant and refilling with fresh fluid is highly recommended. The process removes dirt and rust from the system, which could otherwise cause clogs and worse. Plus, the coolant itself can lose its effectiveness over time. Flushing out old coolant and topping off the system with fresh fluid ensures that your engine can keep operating without overheating.

The general rule of thumb for coolant flush services is to schedule them about every 30,000 miles. But, that can vary from model to model. You can find more specific information about coolant service intervals in your vehicle's owner's manual, or reach out to ask a member of our service team.
