Come with us as we explore the topic of the coolant flush, and why it's important to maintain a healthy cooling system, especially in Florida’s hot wet climate.

What are the Benefits of a Coolant Flush?

Your engine generates immense heat when it's running, and your cooling system is tasked with keeping your engine’s internal temperature under control. To do this, your engine uses a pump to force a glycol based liquid, known as engine coolant or “antifreeze” around the hot cylinders to remove heat. The hot fluid is then circulated through your engine’s radiator, where it is cooled by passing air, before it is recirculated back into your hot engine to repeat the process. This cycle occurs for as long as your engine is running and works to keep your engine at a safe operating temperature.

Engine coolant is also referred to as antifreeze because this glycol based fluid not only prevents your engine from overheating, but it also prevents your coolant lines from freezing when temperatures plummet.

Ensuring that your antifreeze is fresh and that your cooling system is healthy is one of the best ways to prevent engine overheating. An overheated engine can suffer from catastrophic damage and lead to thousands in preventable repairs.

How Often Do I Need a Jaguar Coolant Flush?

While you should check your owners manual for your vehicle’s exact milestones, it is recommended that you change out your coolant every 30,000 miles. Because the climate in this part of Florida is hot and wet, your cooling system has to work harder, especially during the summer.

Summer is when your vehicle’s cooling system is challenged the most because not only is your engine working to battle the ambient temperature and high humidity, but it's also working to run your air conditioner and keep you cool.

If your cooling system is left neglected, your vehicle could overheat and leave you stranded at the worst time.

If it's been more than three years, or 30,000 miles since your last coolant replacement, it's time to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.

How Do I Know If I Need a Flush?

Oftentimes, it's not easy to tell if your coolant system needs service until it's too late, which is why it's important to stay on top of your coolant flush intervals. However, here are a few signs that it's time for coolant service:

Low Coolant Levels - If you get an in-cabin warning, or you can visually see that your coolant is low, it may be time for coolant service.

High Operating Temperature - if you’re noticing that your Jaguar is operating at a higher than normal temperature, it may be time for cooling service.

Steam - If there is steam or smoke coming from your hood, it's time for coolant service.

Time - If it's been more than three years, or 30,000 miles, schedule an appointment and trust our experts to keep your vehicle in its best shape.
