How Many Miles Left Before Your Next Radiator Flush?

Not many people know that the quality of radiator fluid in the engine can degrade. This is natural because the iron components in the engine may rust and eventually dirty the radiator fluid slowly.

This is why radiator fluid can get dirty even though it is a closed-loop system.

So, when does the radiator fluid need to be replaced? In general, preferably every 100,000 Km or 5 years. As much as possible, do a complete drain so that the circulation of fluid in the radiator is completely clean for maximum performance.

What happens when it is not replaced? It is possible that the engine is working as usual, but the cooling performance may be reduced and the engine may run hotter. Then, the anti-rust and anti-freeze effects will also decrease.

On tyres, a drop in tyre pressure is the main enemy of Accelera tyres. If the tyre pressure drops, then the car will feel heavier and consume more fuel. So, don't forget to check your Accelera tyre pressure.

Tidak banyak yang tahu bahwa kualitas cairan radiator pada mesin bisa mengalami degradasi. Hal ini wajar karena komponen besi pada mesin bisa saja mengalami karat dan akhirnya mengotori cairan radiator secara perlahan.

Hal inilah mengapa cairan radiator bisa kotor meskipun merupakan sebuah sistem siklus tertutup (closed-loop).

Sehingga, kapankah cairan radiator perlu diganti? Secara umum, sebaiknya setiap 100.000 Km atau 5 tahun. Sebisa mungkin, lakukan kuras total agar sirkulasi cairan dalam radiator benar-benar bersih untuk performa maksimal.

Apa yang terjadi bila tidak diganti? Bisa saja mesin bekerja seperti biasa, namun kemampuan pendigingan bisa saja berkurang dan mesin menjadi panas. Kemudian, efek anti karat dan anti beku juga akan menurun.

Pada ban, penurunan tekanan ban adalah musuh utama ban Accelera. Jika tekanan ban turun, maka mobil akan terasa lebih berat dan boros bahan bakar. Sehingga, jangan lupa mengecek tekanan ban Accelera-mu.
