Coolant Flush Service at Downtown Chrysler
\Whether you drive an upscale Chrysler minivan, an off-road ready Jeep 4×4, a high-performance Dodge SUV, or a utilitarian RAM pickup truck, one thing that all of these vehicles have in common is the fact that they require routine maintenance in order to continue performing at their best. One of these routine maintenance services is the often overlooked coolant flush. Continue reading as our team here at Downtown Chrysler discusses the importance of periodic coolant flush services, as well as why you should have this service performed at our state of the art service facility in downtown Toronto.
What is a Coolant Flush?
A coolant flush is the process of draining the old, degraded coolant from your vehicle’s system and replacing it with fresh, manufacturer-recommended antifreeze. This service ensures your engine stays at the right temperature in all seasons, protecting it from extreme heat and freezing cold.
Benefits of a Coolant Flush
- Prevents Overheating: Old coolant can become contaminated, losing its ability to regulate engine temperature effectively.
- Protects Engine Components: Fresh coolant helps prevent corrosion and scaling in your radiator, water pump, and other cooling system parts.
- Improves System Efficiency: Removing debris and buildup keeps the system running smoothly and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
- Extends Vehicle Lifespan: Proper cooling system maintenance contributes to your car’s overall durability and performance.
How Often Should You Flush Your Coolant?
Your vehicle’s coolant flush interval is dependent on a handful of factors, including the specific make, model and year of production. Additionally, your individual driving style and the conditions that your car usually drives in also plays a part in how often the coolant should be flushed. In general, Stellantis engineers recommend that a coolant flush service be performed every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometres, or every 2 to 5 years, whichever comes first. However, it's in your best interest to refer to your vehicle’s owner's manual for a more accurate interval period.
