How to SUPER FLUSH your Cars Cooling System

1. Learn how to replace your radiator if your cooling system is too far gone (wont get clean, has a leak, overheating, etc): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeruAZebIeU

2. 22 minutes…. I own 3 cars, and not a single one has a cooling issue and all 3 have been recently inspected by my mechanic before the lockdown was lifted. I have no reason or interest to learn about flushing a coolant system…. and yet I watched the full 22 minutes….

   Your thumbnail was effective, and the video was informative and entertaining. Well done.

3. I saw this 6 years ago waiting for my first car and here today 6 years later i am flushing my coolant system and Chris is still here liking comments amazing <3

4. Hey Chris! I love your videos. I followed this one to flush my coolant and I think I followed everything correctly. However, my 2006 Toyota Tacoma when I filled with coolant only took a gallon instead of what I was told takes e gallons of coolant. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

5. Never really being too mechanically inclined, the dealership I normally get service at wanting to charge me $300 to do a coolant flush. Wound up doing the coolant flush myself per this video.

   I opted to leave the thermostat in since it'd be a severe pain to get to, it took quite a bit longer, 8 flushes to go from a very used dark green to clear.

   Thanks a lot for the tutorial and helping me save $250 👍

6. Because of this video, i had the courage to super flush my 2015 Suzuki Ertiga and removed the contaminated coolant and rust out of the system. Thanks Chrisfix!

7. I don’t have a car yet but I’m so happy I found your channel 🙏🏼🙏🏼

8. 13:55 Cheers bro.

9. good video, great editing.

10. Is it ok to let the water evaporate out of the drained liquid to reduce the amount of fluid that needs to be recycled?

11. I can't wait to do this on my 79 el camino. Its just one problem. The air conditioner doesn't work so its just the coolant flowing through the engine and radiator and back.
    Does it matter to use the heater when taking it out for a ride during the flush?

12. this video is just like the mental treatment . after watched this video , i felt like i solve everything. this is the best video , which dont leave any clue

13. I measure the original coolant coming out so I know how much is in the engine after draining and compare that with the total capacity stated in the owner's manual. Then flush like ChrisFix using a flush and distilled water. At the end, I fill with concentrated coolant equal to half the stated capacity and then top off with distilled and bleed the air as necessary. This way I have a true 50/50 mix. If you only have 50/50 premix available to fill with after flushing, the amount of distilled left in the block is diluting the 50/50 mix. I find the 50/50 premix a pain in the rear, because I then have to drain and refill more than once to get close to a 50/50 mix in the engine after flushing…are you listening H_ond_ Motor Co that only sells premix? (yes, we know about the block drains too)

14. I hate that my newer car might be alittle more simpler to handle than this but I reallly gotta know

15. I wanted to wait to change radiator until engine rebuild but it is leaking so with a full flush with it keep the new radiator pretty clean ? I don’t want to put something new in and get it dirty already

16. I don’t even need to flush my coolant but I’m here anyways.

17. Hey Chris, used the Flush + Clean, which revealed grey sludge in radiator, got worse with each drain/fill and flush. Keep going? got nervous could be head gasket milkshake, but think it is likely radiator corrosion.

18. this is soo cool 50/50

19. Is it ok to flush using hose water untill you are ready to use coolant?

20. Been needing to do this for years, tomorrow’s the day!

21. I recently purchase a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. 4×4 all wheel drive 4×4. It has a blown head. The owner had started working on it but gave up and the car was parked in a low area on his property . I purchased it from him and moved it to my property next door to him. He told it over heated on the I system and threw an exhust valve rod through the valve cover. I asked if i could look under the hood. The driver had alread purchased parts. I asked him if he would sell the vehicle he said I`ll ask my wife this is her dream car. It sold with parts. When i started looking at fluod levels i asked about the antifreez it was bright green. There was no oil in the crankcase and the overhead cams were dry. I asked if he drained the oil. He said no. Well were tearing the engine down. Wrong anti freeze, no oil. Did i purchase a boat anchor? The Jeep 4.7 V8 does not allow the antifreeze to drain out of the engine, the petcock only drains the radiator. Yes the radiator cap is off. The air release is in a pladtic bag. And we got a foot bath when we loosened the timing cover. With that I started watching YT vids. How and what will be needed to clean the cooling system? Well I found some vids on this with other vehicles that have the wrong antifreeze in them. I have a Pacifica and I new about Chrysler and the antifreeze needs. But it took me by suprise that you have to remove a bolt on the drivers side near a freeze plug to drain the engine. And of course it requires a special tool or total front end disassembly to get to that bolt. The adventure continues. . . . The YT owner installed a petcock valve 9/16 inch, in place of the drain plug to make it easier for future cooling system flushes. Thank you Mr. MARTINBUILD for the great tip. I do not know if this applies to other model years of Jeeps made in the 2000 -2004 build era. [WJ series) Build dates [99-2004) aka Dimler-Chrysler Jeep Build.

22. Imma flush my beautiful 1998 Toyota Avalon with 112k miles in it. Found out the green coolant is incorrect.. do I go to the oil change place and say something???

23. which truck is this?

24. Good idea to grab a sample after each flush to actualy see the progress……great vid.

25. Great video Chris thank you.

26. Thank u very helpful

27. Greetings Chris
    I enjoy you channel ,its extremely helpful
    I have a question , how do you add water to a Ford with no radiator cap, please
    Cheers

28. my girl is awesome!

29. Thank you so much. To give awesome video.

30. Always a joy to watch Chris's video. For this one after the final flush with water there should be plenty of distilled water in the system, why is it ok to just add 50/50? Do you not worry it becomes 30/70? lol.

31. I’m a 16 year old Australian watching this at 11pm because it will most likely be useful at some point in life

32. I don't have these fancy flushes, can I use plain water 3-4 times then use coolant and mixture recommended by the owner's manual?

33. Watching this video I realized I don’t want to buy that 2008 civic hybrid with 196,817 miles! To much at risk for such miles!

34. Can you reply to mine i will appriciate that love the vids

35. these videos have single handedly helped me get my Speed3 back on the road after sitting for what seemed like forever. thanks Chris

36. Hey chris I have a question about my car that wont start

37. Love from india bro

38. Some muriatic acid would clean the revivor out as well

39. There are some lot lizards that will suck it out for $20

40. Chris I’ve been a mechanic for 30 years. I just wanna say you do a great job explaining in your videos and you are very thorough in your work. It gives me hope that their are some good young mechanics out there. Keep them coming even though I might know how to do what your explaining I always feel your never to old to learn something.

41. In my bike, i remove tank, put sand and vinegar and move very quickly like a shaker. Then i put distlled water two times to refresh,and return like new. Good job guy!✌😊

42. Thanks for the great tutorial video.
