When replacing engine antifreeze, it is important to flush the entire engine cooling circuit, since various deposits accumulate in it that can damage it. Vadim Strelbitsky, director of the mechanical repair department of Avilon Kia, told socialbites.ca.
“Old and used antifreeze accumulates various deposits, such as scale and rust, that can clog the system and cause it to malfunction. In addition, old antifreeze can become too viscous, which can lead to deterioration or even failure of the operation of the water pump,” the expert warns.
According to Strelbitsky, to avoid abnormal malfunctions, the car’s cooling system needs to be flushed after 50-100 thousand kilometers or every 2-3 years.
The expert emphasized that if the vehicle is operated in difficult conditions, for example at extreme temperatures, or if the driver frequently travels short distances or the vehicle tows a trailer, the cooling system should be flushed and the antifreeze should be changed more often.
