Coolant Exchange – How Effective is It?
There is a lot of hype about coolant exchange and coolant flush. The problem is this; how effective are they really? How much old antifreeze can you get out of an existing cooling system? The answer is: it depends. It depends on the design of the cooling systems. It depends on the force of the fluid flow through the coolant system. It depends on the diameter of the fluid channels through which the coolant flows, including the coolant hoses through which the coolant flows. It depends on the quality of the old coolant and how degraded the coolant is. It does not matter what type of coolant we’re talking about: long life coolant or the older normal coolants. The use of fluid exchangers has become very popular. The idea is to use these coolant exchangers to replace the old coolant with the new coolant through circulation of the new radiator coolant forcing out the old radiator coolant. With fluid exchange equipment, the radiator coolant will flow through the coolant jackets of the engine block. With the coolant exchange, when the coolant flows, it will choose the path of least resistance, so may not flow through all the coolant jackets. Even if the new radiator coolant flows through a coolant jacket, it will not force out the old coolant like a “wall” moving to replace the old with the new coolant. What is much more likely to happen is that the old and new anti-freeze will mix together. The new anti-freeze will dilute down the old antifreeze but not force it out. It would take a lot of the new coolant (including a lot of waste) to come close to removing the old coolant completely, if this were even ever possible.
