Coolant Flush Service Basics

A coolant flush is a process of draining the vehicle’s old coolant and running clean water through the system to clean it out. Buick Coolant Flush Service removes dirt, rust, sludge and other sedative is an integral part of keeping your vehicle’s cooling system doing its job right. Coolant flows through water hoses, the water pump, radiator and cooling passages in the engine. This keeps your engine at its optimal temperature and reduces the chances of engine issues. Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City has many certified technicians that can inspect your cooling system and coolant color to let you know if you need Buick Coolant Flush Service.

    Keep your Engine Cool

    Your cooling system is what keeps your car from overheating. It works by circulating a mixture of water and coolant through the engine. Over time the coolant mixture becomes contaminated with scale and rust, which can clog and damage the cooling system components. A cooling system flush essentially flushes out the entire system of contaminants and replaces the coolant mixture with fresh coolant and water.

    Warning signs that you need coolant flush service: 
     
    • Check engine light is on
    • Low coolant warning light is on
    • Your engine is overheating

    Buick Coolant Tip

    Never fill the coolant past the maximum fill line. The extra space is needed in the system because it relates to pressure. Eliminating the extra space with too much coolant will increase the heat and pressure in the cooling system to potentially damage the engine. 


    We never recommend topping off or a simple reservoir drain and fill. These strategies do not remove all of the old coolant and its pollutants. The only way to know that you got a full coolant flush is to schedule service at a reputable service center with certified technicians. If you need Buick Coolant Flush Service, call Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City to have one of our certified technicians take care of you.
