Why You Should Do a BG Products Coolant Service

Explanation: The BG Products Coolant Service is a professional maintenance procedure that uses specialized BG equipment, such as the BG Universal Cooling System Service machine, and high-quality products like BG Universal Cooling System Cleaner and BG Universal Cooling System Sealer, to flush and replace old, degraded coolant in your vehicle’s cooling system. This service is essential for maintaining engine temperature and preventing overheating, offering the following benefits:

​

  1. Prevents Engine Overheating: Over time, coolant degrades, losing its ability to regulate engine temperature and protect against corrosion. The BG Coolant Service removes contaminated coolant, sludge, and rust, replacing it with fresh, high-performance coolant to ensure efficient heat transfer and prevent overheating, which can cause severe engine damage.

  2. Protects Cooling System Components: Old coolant can become acidic, corroding components like the radiator, water pump, heater core, and hoses. The BG service uses a cleaner to remove deposits and a sealer to condition gaskets, extending the lifespan of these critical parts and reducing the risk of costly repairs.

  3. Improved Cooling Efficiency: Contaminants like scale and debris reduce the cooling system’s efficiency, straining the engine. The BG Coolant Service thoroughly flushes the system, restoring optimal coolant flow and ensuring consistent engine performance, especially in extreme temperatures or heavy driving conditions.

  4. Prevents Corrosion and Leaks: BG’s Universal Cooling System Sealer conditions seals and gaskets, helping to prevent leaks, while the service’s high-quality coolant provides superior corrosion protection. This is particularly important for modern vehicles with aluminum components, which are prone to corrosion if neglected.

  5. Lifetime BG Protection Plan: When performed at recommended intervals (every 30,000 miles or as specified), the BG Coolant Service qualifies for the Lifetime BG Protection Plan, offering up to $4,000 in repair coverage for cooling system components (Plan 1) or $2,000 (Plan 2) if issues arise. This transferable plan adds value and peace of mind.

​

When to Do a BG Coolant Service: Most vehicles require a coolant service every 30,000 miles or every 2–3 years, as specified in your owner’s manual. Signs that your car needs this service include overheating, low coolant levels, discolored or cloudy coolant, or a sweet smell indicating coolant breakdown. Vehicles used for towing, in extreme climates, or with high mileage may require more frequent service.

​

By scheduling a BG Products Coolant Service at a BG-authorized shop, you protect your engine, enhance cooling system performance, and avoid expensive repairs, all while benefiting from BG’s trusted products and lifetime protection. This service ensures your vehicle runs reliably and efficiently under all driving conditions.
