But Do I NEED a Coolant Flush in My Nissan?

With a coolant flush, the name says it all—we replace your coolant (aka antifreeze) to help your radiator remain cool, which also helps your motor avoid heating issues. Here in Florida, a coolant flush is always a smart service to schedule, even if you don’t notice motor issues since warm climates (like those around Palm Harbor and the surrounding area) generate extra warmth for your engine, and can cause your powertrain to overheat unexpectedly without proper coolant.

Also, over time, your antifreeze builds up particles and contaminants that cause issues like rust and corrosion in your radiator, which leads to problems far greater than overheating. Thankfully, a coolant flush applies a cleaner and water to remove your old fluids along with most of those unwanted particles to help you drive worry-free while also removing rust from your radiator and lubricating your water pump. So, the short answer is yes, you definitely need a coolant flush for your Nissan vehicle.

How Will I Know When It’s Time for Coolant Service?

The most obvious sign is the instant your vehicle overheats. Whether you drive a Sentra, Kicks, 370Z, or anything in between, overheating can be an issue—and if it’s not coolant that’s the cause of the problem, it’s usually something far more critical where you’ll want to schedule service ASAP before more damage occurs. Thankfully, factory-trained professionals always look at your car when you work with us, and they’ll let you know what they notice wrong.

Even if you don’t notice overheating, look under your car for leaks. Also, if you hear knocking sounds from your motor and notice your temperature gauge rising, that’s usually a sign of needing a coolant flush too. Lastly, you can look directly at your antifreeze and see if you spot physical debris floating around or sense any strange odors—they’re both issues you can generally solve with coolant replacement.

Sometimes, no issues occur, which is ideal. However, you’ll still want to schedule a coolant flush every two years or 30,000 miles to help reduce the buildup of unwanted contaminants.

What Causes Coolant Issues in My Car?

The specific reason you’re experiencing antifreeze problems varies heavily—however, one of the most common culprits starts with water pump issues. Since your serpentine belt works like a pulley system, any kinks, leaks, or damage prevents water from flowing properly, which causes problems with cooling your powertrain.

Next, look for leaks in your hoses. Again, if a hose experiences a leak, the water won't filter through your motor, which causes your liquids to drain out before reaching your engine, which leads to overheating issues.

If your thermostat fails, you’ll also notice heating issues in your car—especially since this part regulates your temperature and determines how much coolant enters your powertrain. So, if the thermostat constantly (and incorrectly) reads your temperature is cold, no fluids reach your motor, which causes overheating.
