Coolant Flush Service at Avenue Nissan
Coolant probably isn’t something most drivers think about often. Indeed, it doesn’t need to be replaced frequently, but it’s pretty important since it absorbs heat from your engine and also provides warmth inside your cabin. As you drive, the coolant in your Nissan can get dirty or just lose its effectiveness. To keep your engine running cool, the coolant needs to be checked or flushed by a Nissan expert at regular intervals. You may be wondering where to go and when to get a coolant flush service or have it checked by certified Nissan technicians in Toronto. Read on with our team at Avenue Nissan to learn more about coolant flush service, when to replace coolant, and why you should choose us.
What is a Coolant Flush & Why Does it Matter?
Coolant is a special fluid that helps regulate your engine’s temperature. When you are driving, the engine outputs a lot of heat. Coolant flows through the engine, which carries that heat away so the engine doesn’t overheat. In colder months, it also prevents the engine from freezing, which is why it’s called antifreeze too. Moreover, it also helps prevent corrosion inside your cooling system and even keeps your cabin warm in the winter. Over time, coolant can become dirty, which means it won’t do its job. The result? Your engine can start running hotter, your heater may not blow warm air, and worse, your vehicle could overheat, which potentially causes damage. That’s why it’s important to flush old coolant out and replace it with fresh one.
How Often Should You Flush Your Nissan’s Coolant?
Coolant needs to be replaced periodically to make sure your engine operates optimally, and Nissan has specific guidelines for when to get it flushed. For most Nissan models, the first coolant replacement is recommended at 168,000 kms or 84 months, with subsequent flushes every 12,000 kms or 60 months after that. Of course, there are some factors, like your driving habits and the climate, that can affect how often coolant should be changed, so it's a good idea to regularly check the coolant level whenever you take your Nissan in for service.
