    Is it time to service, replace, or flush the coolant in your car or truck? In this video, Andy shows you how to drain and refill the coolant in your car or truck, and gives you tips, and details you won't want to miss! Coolant, or antifreeze, is an important element of a healthy and efficient engine. Old coolant can get sludgy, and clog coolant passages in the engine block, heater core, thermostat and radiator. Worn or weakened antifreeze will lose low temperature protection. Protect your car or truck by replacing or flushing the coolant at the interval specified in your vehicle's manual, or when inspection shows signs of wear!

    You didn't talk about burping the system. Or what to do if you trap air in the system.👌

    @5:33 I would also turn the heat on inside the car to run some of the new coolant through the heater core.

    I've used a shop vacuum to suck more coolant out of the engine block, works great, just disconnect both the upper and lower hoses to get the most out.

    Why can’t you use something like prestone all vehicle coolant? Many makers not just Prestone

    Hi! Does it a coolant system or otherwise a cooling system? Please, be kind enough to explain it to me. Thank you so much.

    My Audi used to run with red coolant but I found that there are some coolants that say are compatible with all vehicles and supposedly better- I believe it's referred to as HOAT. What's your take on that?
    The coolant I used: Prestone All Vehicles - 10yr/300k mi

      Stick with red. Those "for all vehicles" coolant lake specific chemicals unique for your cooling systems performance.

    Never use the plastic tap to drain the rad if it cracks when turning then it's going to be a bad day.

    • @kylefowler5082
      @kylefowler5082 3 года назад +1

      this is the best advice, I never touch those radiator drain valves, it's best to remove the lower radiator hose. As proof Andy didn't try opening the one up on the truck in the video, he knew better haha

    Hi Andy,
    What are the consequences of having an overfilled degas bottle?
    I own a fiesta, and I mistakenly filled the degas bottle to the max line while the engine was cold.
    This bottle is, obviously pressurized and the level was about a quarter of an inch above the max line at normal operating temperature.
    Would this oversight cause engine damage?

    Just wanted to say for others watching who don't know, in addition to recycling centers taking the used coolant, most big box auto parts stores also take fluids like this!
