| ABRO is more easily available. I have tried it and it is good. Anything from STP should also be available. Let me know if you would like me to get it for you to Goa if its unavailable there. I am coming on 22nd and leaving on 23rd.  |

It keeps the cooling system clean, hence efficient,usually the service center should do it at around 30-45 k,but they do not do it, and tend to clean it by using pressurized water. Last edited by Rehaan : 17th February 2008 at 00:34. | ||

2ndly at least with maruti s and MOST cars , you have to flush and replace coolant every 20 000 km or 1 year AT LEAST. The OWS FLUSH i strongly feel is the best followed by tectaloy | |

It's not sludge, it's simple what happens to metal when immersed in water???????? Rust, this flush solution is used to remove the rust from the system and keep it clean. coolant solution and distilled water help reduce the formation of rust but still there is some amount of rust formed. so it's advisable to flush the system. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | If you are using coolant and replacing it at regular prescribed intervals then pressure cleaning is the best method to remove deposits & scales in the radiator. The best way is to remove the bottom most hose of the radiator and then remove the cap of the radiator and put pressurised water in it. It shall thus remove all residue from the engine block as well. BTW, I used ABRO radiator flush in my Scorpio at its 75K kms service for the first time. Then very carefully examined the drained coolant and also filtered it through a cloth. Not a single particle of any deposit or scale or sludge. I've been regularly replacing the coolant at every 20K kms. Quote:
