Engine Coolant Exchange

Engine Coolant Exchange

As your engine heats and cools, deposits of metal are introduced into your radiator. This is a normal process. The PH of your antifreeze and water mixture is changing and can be very corrosive causing your engine, radiator, water pump and other cooling system components to collect these metal deposits. Having your vehicle’s cooling system flushed can help extend the life of your vehicle. Your cooling system should be checked yearly and antifreeze protection adjusted as needed. The system should be drained, and new 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water added every two years or 30,000 miles. Extended life antifreeze should be serviced every four years or 60,000 miles
