🔧Superflushing your cooling system is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance.
🌡️Perform a chemical flush prior to the superflush to remove built-up contaminants.
💦Using distilled water during the superflush process helps ensure a thorough clean.
🚗Drive the vehicle for a few hundred miles after the superflush to circulate the coolant and further remove any remaining contaminants.
🔄Repeat the superflush process until the flushed coolant appears clean and free of debris.
How often should I superflush my cooling system?
—It is recommended to superflush your cooling system every 2-5 years, depending on your vehicle's manufacturer guidelines.
Can I use tap water instead of distilled water?
—It is highly recommended to use distilled water during the superflush process to avoid introducing impurities into the system.
What type of coolant should I use after the superflush?
—Refer to your vehicle's owner manual to determine the recommended coolant type. It is best to use a coolant that is compatible with your vehicle's cooling system.
Do I need to remove the thermostat during the superflush?
—Removing the thermostat is optional but can improve the flow and effectiveness of the superflush.
Is it necessary to flush the coolant reservoir separately?
—Flushing the coolant reservoir is recommended to ensure that all old coolant and contaminants are removed from the system.
