Why fluid flushes are an important part of auto care

Out with the old, in with the new

At L&S Quality Auto Repair, we understand the importance of regular vehicle maintenance in keeping your car running smoothly and extending its lifespan. Among the most crucial maintenance tasks are fluid flushes, which ensure that your vehicle’s systems are free from contaminants and operating efficiently. Today, we’re diving deep into the three most common types of fluid flushes: Radiator Flush, Brake Fluid Flush, and Transmission Flush.

1. Radiator Flush and Fluid Replacement

The radiator plays a pivotal role in your vehicle’s cooling system, preventing the engine from overheating. Over time, the coolant within the radiator can become contaminated with rust and debris, diminishing its effectiveness. A radiator flush involves draining the old coolant, cleaning the system with a flush solution to remove buildup, and refilling it with fresh coolant. This process not only prevents overheating but also protects against corrosion and helps maintain optimal engine performance.

2. Brake Fluid Flush and Bleed

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture over time. This can lead to reduced braking efficiency and, in severe cases, brake failure. Overtime the fluid can also become acidic, accelerating corrosion. During a brake fluid flush and bleed, we remove the old, contaminated fluid from the brake lines and replace it with new fluid. This ensures that your braking system remains responsive and reliable, providing you with peace of mind on the road.

3. Transmission Flush and Fill

The transmission system requires a special fluid to operate smoothly, providing the necessary lubrication and cooling. Unlike a simple drain and fill, which only replaces a portion of the fluid, a transmission flush removes all the old fluid from the system, including the fluid in the torque converter and cooler lines. This is followed by a refill with new fluid. A complete flush ensures that any contaminants or debris are removed, significantly improving your vehicle’s performance and extending the life of your transmission.
