Common Symptoms
Coolant looks rusty or brown
Reached manufacturer interval (60,000 to 100,000 miles)
Heater not putting out much heat
Engine running slightly hot
What It Is
Coolant absorbs heat from the engine and dumps it through the radiator. The corrosion inhibitors in coolant break down over time.
Why It Matters
Old coolant becomes corrosive and damages the radiator, water pump, and heater core, all expensive parts.
How to Save Money on Coolant Flush
- Always use the exact coolant type your manual specifies, mixing types causes sludge
- A drain and refill costs much less than a power flush and works fine for most maintenance
