Coolant System Service

Problem

Sixty percent of breakdowns are caused by coolant system failure. Anti-freeze consists of ethylene glycol, water and chemical inhibitors. Vehicle coolant is mixed to provide protection against freezing, boiling over, heat transfer, foaming, deposit build up and corrosion protection of the engine's internal components. Time, temperature extremes, agitation and chemical reactions deplete the anti-freeze inhibitors leaving a corrosive, acidic mixture. Depleted anti-freeze eats away at aluminum engine components ten times faster than cast iron.

Solution:

1. Complete system inspection
2. A chemical flush to remove contaminants
3. Installation of new coolant fortified with conditioner
It is recommended, in order to maximize efficiency, to inspect the system once a year (20,000 km) and flush the system every two years (40,000 km) or as required (Dex-Cool recommended every 160,000 km).

Benefits:

Maximizes the life of Cooling System Components - temperature sensor, head and intake gaskets, water pump, heater core and radiator, etc...
