How Often Do You Need a Radiator Flush?
Sediment, rust and other contaminants build up in your radiator overtime. To get the most life out of your radiator, you should have it flushed every 30,000 miles or 3 years. This is the process of adding cleaner to your radiator system to clean it out. First the old radiator fluid is removed. Then a cleaning agent is ran through the system. Finally, new radiator fluid is added as a replacement. Cleaning your radiator regularly will prevent the gaskets from breaking prematurely. The service usually costs anywhere from $100 to $150. It’s is a job you want to add to your car’s regularly scheduled maintenance to ensure top performance.
