How to Quick Flush Your Cars Cooling System

Learn how to flush and fill the coolant in your car or truck. Keep your radiator, heater core, and engine clean. Flushing your coolant is good for the cooling system to prevent rust and to prevent your car from overheating.
First you drain the old coolant from the radiator, then you fill it with distilled water and coolant flush chemical. Then you run the car. Then you drain the water from the radiator and fill it with 50/50 antifreeze.

Hello Chris! I want to thank you SO much for your channel because you just helped me fix my car! I knew basically nothing about cars, but using your videos I was able to figure out the problem! My Audi A4 2010 was shaking horribly and very violently and I couldn't figure out why. Tested the fuel injectors, changed the spark plugs, and still couldn't figure it out. Finally I tested the "ignition coils" I think they are called, because it doesn't really have Spark Plug "wires." I took out each coil one at a time (there's 4), started the car, and found which ones weren't contributing to the engine. Replaced the two that weren't working and Boom! Smooth SMOOTH ride :D Accelerates faster too If it wasn't for your videos, I would never have been able to fix it on my own and even know where the heck to start on fixing it! Seriously! I still have TONS to learn about cars, but I'm happy to have a successful first fix and start somewhere. So again, thank you so much Chris! -Mario

Always enjoy your videos. I prefer using concentrated coolant and almost always OE coolants and other fluids. I add 1/2 the system's capacity with concentrate, then top up with distilled water. That way you don't have to worry about residual water in the system diluting your 50/50 bottled mix. There can be a fair bit of water left in the galleries. This is particularly important where I live as we have very cold winters and getting a minimum 50/50 concentration is pretty much imperative.

[@loden888]

That's pretty smart. So if you know your entire system is 10 quarts, and you filled in 5 quarts of concentrate, then what's left over has to be distilled water!

[@GamerKiwi]

That's smart. This is why I go into the comment section of these sorts of video

[@bauertime]

Thats what I do. Seems like it would be hard to get the water out of the block and heater core. I figure half the water is in the block and heater core, so I just fill the radiator with 100% and it should end up 50%.

[@macknumber9]

So you don't have to actually premix the water coolant...it will take care of itself when it is pushed through the entire coolant system

[@aunelill]

You flush with hot engine, thermostat open and distilled water circulating through motor block and heater core, but drain with cold engine and thermostat closed. So without removing the thermostat a mixture of distilled water, some old coolant and chemical flush remains in the block. Filling the radiator with premixed means coolant concentration of the whole system will be well below 50/50. Am i correct?

[@labradormcgraw]

Theres alot of stigma with people thinking BMWs cost loads to repair or are more difficult to work on, if anything there easier, due to thier engines being Inline so all the stuff is easier to work on with loads of space at the front of the engine, so no jacking engine up or removing engine mounts to replace pulleys, belts and water pumps etc. Theres always loads of room around the engine bay compared to transverse engines

[@chrisfix]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[@richardjacques1731]

If you pull the thermostat, couldn't you just hook up a garden hose to power flush it at the thermo port? Also do you have to recycle the water/flush fluid?

[@wannawatchu66]

Chris: Thanks SO MUCH at 4:07 for saying what you said about starting the engine so that the water pump will force out any water you think might be still in the engine block. Ya kinda left that step out of your "Super Flush" video when you flushed the Mazda. A *lot* of people, myself included, were wondering how you emptied the engine block of ALL the water.

[@wannawatchu66]

@Gideon Well, you'd only be running the pump dry for a few seconds. I don't think that's enough to damage it. Chris even does it in this video at 4:12. Getting as much of the old water out is preferable because that old water has contaminants in it that you don't want in your cooling system, which is why you're flushing it in the first place. You want only fresh coolant and water in your system. So when it runs dry, shut off the engine and add the coolant until no more will go in, then start the engine and make the pump circulate the water throughout the system. Keep adding water/coolant as needed. I live in a warmer climate, too, but I still put 50/50 in as nighttime temps in winter are known to drop into the 20s here.

[@wannawatchu66]

@Gideon Good questions. Pouring a little oil into the new oil filter is a great idea, especially if the filter is completely upside down because then you can fill it up, but I always end up with cars whose oil filters are tilted 45 degrees, so you have to be careful not to put too much in them to avoid spilling oil when you're screwing it onto the base. Or just keep your catch basin in place when you're putting the new one in so the new oil doesn't hit the ground, but to me, either way is a waste of fresh oil, so I just screw it in empty to keep that from happening. Having said all that, I've *never* had a problem putting a new oil filter in empty. Yes, the engine could run empty for maybe a few seconds, but that's nowhere near long enough to do any real damage. I've never had a problem with doing that, and I've been changing my own oil for over 30 years. After a couple of seconds, fresh oil gets pumped into the whole engine anyway, and I've never seen an engine that's that unforgiving.

[@danr4197]

The problem with this is that you didn't take out the thermostat so there is old coolant in the engine block and heater core not getting replaced. You need to remove the thermostat and back flush the system. It is also best to gently flush the heater core if you can find the houses to it and remove them. Then drive it like you did for awhile. Let it cool then drain and flush everything again and put in a new thermostat. Now you can fill with all new coolant!

[@vincnt9537]

@@vincnt9537 Yeah, I'm wondering now. Wouldn't the thermostat have opened when he was driving the car around with the flushing water and cleaning chemical in it?

6:21 you have 106°C coolant temperature and at the end you have 40°F ambient. Beauty of diversity although metrification is the forward direction to go. Well done video, thanks Chris and your assistant.

Thank you for explaining that in words I can understand

Thanks for the video, love all of your content! Quick question, I have heard the anti-rust/sealant can sometimes cause heater cores to clog up. Is this something you have experienced or heard of? Thanks again!

Yes.. never use the stuff. If your system is leaking, it’s better to fix it properly.

What you were calling the reservoir is actually an "expansion tank". It's called that because there is supposed to be an air cushion in there to allow the coolant to expand. BMW cooling systems are a weak link in the car and filling the expansion tank to the top is a recipe for disaster. No room for the coolant to expand results in extremely high pressures which results in bye-bye cooling system. That red bobber is there for a reason. Only fill the expansion tank to the point where the top of the red bobber is no higher than the top of the tank.

Thanks for sharing!

[@anotherone3957]

So the expansion tank was a overfilled here?
