Changing the coolant

Coolant is an indispensable element in the proper operation of an engine. Its role is to maintain a stable operating temperature. It therefore protects the engine from overheating and freezing.

The coolant should be changed regularly. Manufacturers recommend every 2 or 4 years or 50,000 kilometres. This maintenance is essential because over time the coolant loses its properties and qualities. It becomes much more acidic, creating corrosion in the circuit and faster degradation of the cooling components.

KNOW THE COOLANT

The role of coolant is simple but very important. It must cool the engine temperature to avoid any risk of overheating that could cause irreparable damage to the vehicle. It is an essential part of the engine cooling system.

When they are in operation, internal combustion engines generate quite high temperatures, especially when the engine is stopped or when it rises in revolutions. However, the various mechanical parts of an engine are unable to withstand such high temperatures for long periods of time.

It is therefore imperative to cool the motor in order to maintain its reliability and service life over time.

USE A DUMPING STATION

The main role of the coolant is therefore to keep the engine temperature constant. This will not only prevent the engine from overheating, but also protect it from freezing. Of course, many car owners may find that changing the coolant themselves is a real hassle.

The solution to this problem is offered by today’s technology, which is oil change stations such as Flash Cooling®. The latter not only allows you to change the coolant, but also to check for leaks, to create a vacuum, to refill by vacuum and finally to recycle the used coolant

The entire coolant change operation takes no more than ten minutes instead of several hours and does not require any disassembly on the vehicle. In fact, you simply need to connect the machine directly to the expansion tank and let it do the job.

As far as safety measures are concerned, these are optimal. There is no more direct contact with the coolant.
