Item 2 – Cooling System Flush
and Fill
Coolant Flush and Fill – Proper
maintenance of the cooling system is
vital to its performance and longevity.
The cooling system must, on a
constant basis, deal with cavitation,
temperature / pressure swings, and
continuous threats on the additive
package. Once the additives have
been depleted from the coolant, it
will only be a matter of time until the
engine components suffer.Refer to the
How to Select Coolant section in this
guide.
Cooling System Inspection – Inspect
the cooling system as follows:
HOT COOLANT
To avoid scalding from the
expulsion of hot coolant, never
remove the cooling system
pressure cap while the engine is
at operating temperature. Wear
adequate protective clothing
(face shield, rubber gloves,
apron, and boots). Remove the
cap slowly to relieve pressure.
1. Inspect the radiator, condenser,
coolant pump, engine oil cooler,
freeze plugs, and heat exchanger
for damage and leaks.
