Subject Flush System Information
- Description
Vehicles produced by Kia Motors Corporation do not require the Engine, Transmission, "Power
Steering and Cooling System to be power flushed. Kia vehicles are designed to give thousands of
miles of trouble free service if all recommended maintenance intervals are followed by the
customer with a simple drain and refill. The use of fluid flush exchangers is not required nor
recommended by Kia.
Listed are a few disadvantages of power flush machines:
^ Flush systems add unnecessary maintenance expense not required by the manufacture to
maintain the warranty.
^ Flush systems can contaminate the lubrication system
^ Cross contamination is not covered by warranty
^ Flush systems can leave behind solvents and residue which can degrade the new replaced
lubricant, also can degrade the seals and gaskets
^ Flush systems have not proved longer durability results
