Radiator Flush

A radiator flush is undertaken to clean out all of the old coolant and anti-freeze mixture in your car’s cooling system. By pumping quantities of radiator cleaning solution through the system, the process removes contaminants, scale and rust particles that build up over time, allowing a new, clean and fresh mixture to take its place.

 

Old coolant mixtures can become corrosive and abrasive, particularly in modern aluminum engines. | New coolant mixture has a lubricating property that helps keep your water pump in good condition. | A new mixture generates less foam, improving cooling performance.

 

Remove the radiator cap and drain plug | Drain the old mixture into a container | Replace the radiator drain plug and fill with radiator flushing solution and water | Restart the engine and run until the temperature gauge is at its normal position | Set the heater to its highest position | Switch off and allow the engine to cool, then drain the radiator completely | Replace the drain plug and refill the radiator with the correct proportion of anti-freeze and water

 

Have a mechanic do this service. They will know the correct procedures, have the appropriate containers and fluids, and will dispose of the toxic anti-freeze mixture responsibly. What is a common symptom indicating you need to flush the radiator? A temperature gauge that has moved higher than its normal position.

 

An overheating engine, burst water hoses, or broken water pump can strand you at the side of the road without warning. The procedure is a good idea even when symptoms are not present if you feel that the car has gone a long way without any attention paid to the cooling system. As preventive maintenance, it provides peace of mind.

Transfer Case Fluid Replacement

The transfer case is a special gear box found in four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles. It sends drive power from the engine to the front and rear axles. In all-wheel-drive vehicles, the transfer case helps to shift power from one axle to another, depending upon traction conditions. Lubricant fluid in the transfer case helps to keep its gears cool and turning smoothly. Replacing this fluid at appropriate intervals can help prevent premature wear and damage caused by contaminated or broken-down lubricant.

 

If the transfer case fluid is low, the entire transfer case should be inspected for leaks.

 

Check the condition of the fluid | Drain the fluid if it is dirty or brown in color | Fill the new fluid | Test drive vehicle and check for leaks

 

Transfer case fluid should be replaced at least every 30,000 miles. You should schedule this maintenance for your vehicle, and anytime the transfer case is inspected, the transfer case fluid should be checked.

 

The transfer case is a gear box that is unique to four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case is responsible for sending power from the engine to both the front and the rear axles, and shifting power from one to the other depending on the conditions of the road. Transfer case fluid is responsible for keeping the components of the transfer case well lubricated. When this fluid leaks out or becomes contaminated, it is no longer able to act as a lubricant, and severe damage can be caused to the transfer case.

Transmission Fluid Service

Transmission fluid helps cool and lubricate your vehicle’s transmission’s internal parts. The transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels of the car. An automatic transmission shifts the car into different gears depending on the speed that you are driving. In an automatic transmission car, the transmission system has an oil pan that contains the transmission fluid and fluid filter. The fluid provides the power/force required to shift into different gears. In manual transmission cars, there is a case that contains the transmission fluid. Contrary to an automatic transmission, the fluid in a manual system is not directly involved in changing gears, because it is a mechanical system, whereas an automatic transmission is hydraulic. If an automatic transmission does not have enough fluid, or the fluid has been contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to start to slip and eventually fail. If a manual transmission does not have enough fluid, or the fluid has been contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to become noisy, the internal parts to wear out faster and eventually for the transmission to fail.

 

An automatic transmission fluid service will replace the pan gasket, filter, and transmission fluid. Some vehicles do not have a serviceable transmission filter and some transmissions are designed to be “sealed for life,” meaning that they do not require any service or maintenance. Check your owner’s manual for information on whether you have a sealed system or not. | Unlike an automatic transmission, a manual transmission does not contain a filter, which means that as components wear, the transmission fluid picks up particles of metal and is unable to filter them. This is why it is very important to perform a transmission fluid service as per manufacturer recommendations.

 

Drain the transmission fluid | (Automatic only) Install new pan gasket and filter (if replaceable) | Add the proper type and quantity of oil/fluid for your transmission | Check for leaks | Test drive the vehicle How do Mechanics Change Transmission Fluid? | Drain the transmission fluid. | (Automatic only) Install new pan gasket and filter (if replaceable). | Add the proper type and quantity of oil/fluid for your transmission. | Check for leaks. | Test drive the vehicle.

 

A conservative rule of thumb is that a car should get a transmission fluid service every 40,000 miles. If you notice any fluid underneath the car, get it inspected as soon as you can. Changing your transmission’s fluid regularly will greatly extend the service life of your vehicle’s transmission. What are the common symptoms indicating you need to replace the transmission fluid? Vehicle has a hard time running Vehicle stalls when going up or down a steep incline Check Engine Light is on Transmission makes noise

 

Transmission fluid services are an important part of regular maintenance and will increase the service life of your transmission. According to the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association, 90% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating and can be often blamed on transmission fluid that should have been replaced.

Cooling System Flush

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.

 

Your mechanic will drain the fluid, clean the system with coolant cleaner, and use water to remove the remaining coolant. After cleaning the system, the mechanic will fill it up with new coolant. This process is effective and an approved industry method of flushing your vehicle’s cooling system.

 

Install flush chemical to radiator | Bring the car to operating temperature | Drain the old coolant | Close valve and refill with water | Repeat the process | Fill radiator with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water | Check for leaks and fan operation

 

Some vehicles are equipped with a low coolant sensing system. Should this light come on, have your vehicle inspected for leaks or other possible causes for the low coolant level. Follow the service maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer to get the coolant replaced at regular intervals. In general, it is a good practice to change the coolant every 40,000-50,000 miles. What are the common symptoms indicating you need to flush the cooling system? Check Engine warning light is on Low Coolant warning light is on Engine is overheating

 

A cooling system flush is an important part of preventative maintenance and helps to keep your car healthy and on the road.

Power Steering Fluid Service

Power steering fluid flows through the power steering hydraulic system. The system is pressurized by the power steering pump and by way of valves, plungers, or pistons decreases the effort needed by the driver to turn the steering wheel. When the pump stops pumping, the pressure drops and the power steering system loses its hydraulic pressure. As components in the steering system wear, metal particles will contaminate the fluid, which will cause seals in the system to leak and components to eventually fail. Checking the fluid level and changing the fluid at regular intervals recommended by the manufacturer is important for the life of the hoses, pistons, valves, seals, and the power steering pump itself.

 

Pouring in the wrong fluid or overfilling the system can cause expensive damage. The mechanic will need to consult the vehicle owner’s or service manual. | If the fluid is low, the mechanic will check the hoses, fittings, and clamps for leaks.

 

Empty the power steering reservoir | Fill with the correct type and quantity of new fluid | Bleed the power steering system/clean up any residual fluid | Test operation of power steering | Check for any power steering leaks

 

Consider getting a power steering flush once every 3-4 years. What are the common symptoms indicating you need to replace the power steering fluid? Groaning noise from the power steering pump or steering gear Difficulty in turning the steering wheel Contaminated fluid (brown/black)

 

Changing your power steering fluid at manufacturer recommended intervals, will ensure continued system performance and extended service life. It is a part of scheduled maintenance services and will save you the trouble of major repairs down the road.
