Flushing Cooling System and Fogging
Engine
Cooling system flushing is essential to pre-
vent the cooling system from clogging up
with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fogging of
the engine is mandatory to prevent expen-
sive engine damage due to rust. Perform the
flushing and fogging at the same time.
