How Often Your Radiator Needs To Be Flushed

May 10, 2026


Flushing your radiator is a way of cleaning one of the most crucial components of your car’s cooling system. The process removes rust, dirt, and other particulates that contaminate the mix of coolant and water inside. This prevents your radiator from working efficiently.

The user manual that came with your will usually provide instructions about how often your particular vehicle model should be flushed. Many vehicle models recommend doing this every 10,000 miles, but if it has been more than five years, then you definitely need to have the radiator tank and pipes flushed and replaced with new coolant.

If it has been much too long since you have thought about your radiator maintenance, we invite you to bring it to Scruggs Automotive for a radiator flush today!
