To ensure the longevity and proper operation of your radiator, it requires specific maintenance known as preventative maintenance. Here are some recommended preventative maintenance tips:
- Replace the radiator hoses every three years or after driving 58,000 kilometers. Rubberized hoses tend to dry out and break over time, and should not be used for longtime without replacement
- Regularly check the coolant levels. If you notice a significant drop in the fluid level between checks, it may indicate a leak in the cooling system. Keep a close eye out, as slow leaks can be challenging to detect.
- Get the coolant flushed from time to time to eliminate any impurities in the radiator and hoses. This service also conditions the cooling system, protecting it from rusting and enabling the radiator to function at optimal performance throughout its lifespan.
