most vehicle manufacturers include a recommended schedule for radiator flushing. These schedules are based on engine specifications and the type of coolant that's used. The average frequency is at least once every 2 years or 30,000 miles (around 50,000 kilometers), whichever comes first. Consider also the following special conditions.

In areas where winters are really cold or summers are extremely hot, it's recommended that you schedule your coolant change and radiator flush at the start of each season.

The type of water you use for your car's radiator should also be considered. High mineral content generally results in deposits that could clog the cooling system - pipes, hoses and the radiator itself. Schedule a radiator flush at least once every year.
