Why You Need an Annual Radiator Flush
You really should flush your radiator annually, especially before the winter season. Rust and scale deposits build up in the radiator over time. Flushing the system helps clean it and minimizes the risk of overheating. It also helps to lubricate the water pump, which will lengthen its life. It’s really just a good idea for your mechanic to inspect your radiator and heating/cooling system to spot any potential problems before they leave you stranded on the side of the road with a blown engine. Plus, brand new anti-freeze can protect your system rust and foam build up so it operates more efficiently.
