Oil Cooler Flushing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris may not be removed or the problem may become even worse.
NOTE:
- The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed completely when the ATX is overhauled or replaced.
- Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles flow out from the feed pipe side of the ATX.
