How Often Do You Need a Radiator Flush?
A radiator is the water tank your car’s engine depends on to cool itself off, as well as keep it from freezing up in the winter. And considering how dirty engines can get, occasionally the water will need changed and cleaned. There is no hard and fast rule to how often you should flush your radiator. It depends on mileage, the quality of antifreeze you use, your driving habits and the climate you drive in. Most manufacturers, including the auto mechanics at European Auto Repair, recommend changing your antifreeze every 40,000 to 60,000 miles, or annually. Regular flushing will help your radiator run better and last longer, so it’s definitely a spring cleaning job worth scheduling.
