Modern coolant, especially if it is branded and of high quality, can be used for up to five years. In other words, a car owner who is used to regularly updating his fleet will only change this once during the car’s ownership. And these are not savings, but real lifespan, possible thanks to today’s technologies and products.
However, difficult conditions, such as idling in city traffic, constant operation of the combustion engine at idle and the heat load of the engines, make their own adjustments. And in order to make the engine last longer, domestic car owners have come up with an interesting trick that can significantly extend the life of the cooling system in particular and the entire engine in general.
The heat load of the internal combustion engine and frequent idling lead to the appearance of “work products” in the cooling system: dirt, scale, sediment. Over time, they build up, clogging the radiator and engine shroud, which somehow leads to overheating. You can of course flush the system, but this is time-consuming, difficult and dirty. In addition, antifreeze is poisonous.
In Russia, they came up with a much simpler way to clean the cooling system: at each maintenance, a simple fine fuel filter from Zhiguli cars is added to the circuit, which is sold everywhere and costs a penny. By running the coolant through it, you can catch a significant amount of the dirt that has built up in the system. And then just throw it away. Of course, you cannot “drive out” all “evil spirits” in this way, but this is not necessary. By regularly cleaning the coolant you can achieve results that guarantee that the engine will operate in the desired temperature range.
If you do not do this, over time the radiator will become clogged, the channels in the cylinder head will fail, the thermostat and valve on the expansion tank/radiator plug will fail and the hoses will burst. Repairs cost tens of times more than a cheap household filter, which, compared to other maintenance spare parts, costs nothing at all.
