First Things First: What Is a Coolant Flush Service?

When your car receives a coolant flush, our technicians drain your current coolant (aka antifreeze) and pour in new fluids to help your motor receive proper cooling. Also, over time, your coolant builds up particles and debris that can cause damage to your motor, so performing an antifreeze flush removes most of these contaminants in the process and helps promote smoother drives.

Keep in mind that you’re not just cleaning your liquids in your car, but you’re also helping lubricate your water pump for even smoother functioning. So, when your radiator needs to cool off, your car can send water through your powertrain system with fewer restrictions blocking the flow to your engine, helping you avoid overheating.

What If I Don’t Replace My Coolant?

If you neglect coolant flushes, the first critical issue of your car involves overheating. Sometimes, your antifreeze levels are so low that your radiator can’t properly cool. Other times, the issue could be more severe like a damaged radiator—which one of our technicians will notice upon your coolant flush service, helping you avert long-term damage.

To help avoid these issues, you’ll want to schedule a coolant flush about once a year or every 30,000 miles to help your engine properly cool in the summer heat in your MDX or after hitting the track in your NSX. Also, check for leaks under your car of physical debris in your antifreeze, as both signs also indicate it’s time to schedule a coolant flush to help avoid your motor overheating when you’re driving down the highway. However, even if you experience an overheat, the issue could even be a leaking hose preventing water from cooling your radiator—either way, you’ll want to visit our service center so that our technicians can get a closer look.
