Why a Coolant Flush Is Important
Coolant (also known as antifreeze) circulates through your engine and radiator to maintain proper temperature and prevent freezing or overheating. Over time, coolant breaks down and becomes contaminated with rust, scale, and other particles. When this happens, it can no longer protect your engine or radiator effectively, which can lead to overheating, leaks, and expensive repairs.
A professional coolant flush removes old fluid and replaces it with fresh coolant, ensuring your system continues to operate efficiently. At RC Hill Mitsubishi, our technicians perform a complete flush and inspection to keep your cooling system in peak condition.
What’s Included in a Radiator Flush Service?

- Flushing of the system to remove rust, sediment, and debris

Signs You May Need Coolant Service
Your vehicle may not always show clear signs of coolant issues until it’s too late. However, here are some common symptoms that may indicate it's time for a coolant or radiator flush:
- Engine running hot or frequent overheating
- Visible coolant leaks under your vehicle
- Low coolant warning light or temperature gauge rising quickly
- Sweet smell from the engine bay (often due to leaking antifreeze)
- Coolant that appears rusty or dirty instead of clear green, orange, or pink
If you're experiencing any of these issues, we recommend scheduling a coolant system inspection at our DeLand service center.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a coolant flush?
Most vehicles require a coolant flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the type of coolant and manufacturer recommendations. Some long-life coolants last longer, but it's always a good idea to check your owner's manual or consult our service team.
What happens if I don't flush my coolant?
Old coolant can become acidic and lose its ability to regulate temperature. This can lead to overheating, internal corrosion, heater core failure, and clogged radiator passages—all of which can cause serious engine damage over time.
Can I just top off my coolant instead of flushing it?
Topping off coolant is fine in emergencies, but it doesn't remove contaminants or restore the fluid’s protective qualities. A flush completely replaces old, worn-out coolant and removes harmful buildup from your cooling system.
