Maintaining Your Chevy with Engine Coolant Flush Service

Your Chevrolet needs routine maintenance to keep it running like new. One of those services your Chevy needs is a coolant fluid exchange. An engine coolant flush service removes the dirty coolant and replaces it with fresh, new fluid. When your Chevy needs fresh coolant, the factory-trained and ASE-certified technicians at Spitzer Chevrolet Amherst will do the job right, the first time.

Why Your Chevy Needs a Coolant Flush

Vehicles have a cooling system that moves coolant through the engine to prevent it from overheating. The coolant is a mixture of water and specialty coolant fluid. As you drive, road debris, scale, and rust build up in the coolant mixture. Without routine coolant flushes, the dirty coolant will clog and damage the cooling system components.

To keep your Chevy’s engine from overheating and becoming damaged, it needs routine coolant flushes. During this procedure, our certified technicians flush the old coolant out and replace it with a new mixture of clean coolant and water.

Your Chevy will need coolant flushes every few years. Our service advisors can help you determine when your radiator needs to be flushed. You can also find the recommended schedule for radiator flushes in your Chevy vehicle’s owner’s manual.

Importance of a Coolant Flush

As automakers build high-tech vehicles, the engines rely on routine maintenance. With oil changes, coolant flushes, and other routine services, drivers can extend the life of their vehicles. They can also keep their warranties intact.

During an engine coolant flush, the technicians drain the fluid, then use a cleaning solution and water to remove any remaining contaminants from the system. Once they clean the system, the technicians fill the system with the appropriate mixture of water and coolant. This industry-approved method keeps the engine running at its peak.

Many new vehicles have a sensor that alerts the driver when the coolant is low. When the sensor determines that the engine cooling system has a problem, it will illuminate a dash light. If the light ignites, you should bring your vehicle in for a radiator flush and an inspection.

Most manufacturers recommend a radiator fluid flush every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. If you regularly drive in hot weather and stop-and-go conditions, you might want to get a coolant antifreeze system flush more frequently. During our coolant services, the technicians will inspect your coolant system and your vehicle’s water pump.
