Fred’s Auto Removal | Cash for Junk Cars Portland

Is your car, truck or van getting close to 100,000 miles and you’re debating if you should keep that vehicle, trade it in, or sell it for cash? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

In this article, we will provide you with important information on what happens to a car after it has 100,000 miles on the engine.

Engine Oil Leaks

One of the first things that you may see happen to your car once it reaches 100,000 miles is an engine oil leak. This is something that can happen to any engine because the older an engine gets it’s not uncommon for its seals to break down and oil can easily leak from the engine.

A solution to this problem is to purchase high mileage engine oil because most high mileage engine oil brands come with special additives that also condition the seals of your engine and stop oil leaks from occurring.

Radiator Fluid Leaks

As with your engine, it’s also possible for your vehicle to start leaking radiator fluid once it reaches the 100,000-mile marker.

To help prolong the life of your radiator it’s best to get your radiator fluid flushed at least once a year since this will also help to clean out any gunk that may have built up in your radiator over time.

Besides flushing your radiator, you should also consider replacing your radiator cap as well since this will also help to ensure that your radiator stays pressurized correctly.
