How often do you need to clean the radiator?

Depends on what kind of fans/filters you are using, and where the system is. In general, using directed air fans with no filters and my case on the floor (living room) I have to clean it twice a month(minimum, I clean it whenever I vacuum). If you keep your case on a desk you can reduce that to once every other month... if you use dust filters, you can simply clean those (which is quicker then cleaning the radiator.

I clean it out atleast once or twice a month give or take just depends on how dusty your house is. IF you have case Dust filters.

You will know it is dirty when you notice demolished airflow from the vents. As a rule of thumb, I clean mine once a month.

There is no need to clean the unit after every use if you do not choose to, though I would reccomend cleaning intermittently to maintain cleanliness and maintaining the unit. I am not clear on why some find it so difficult as I have no issues cleaning mine.

Let it cool, then wipe with damp rag. Simple.Here's the manual: http://www.brevilleusa.com/media/mediaappearance/13483/BSG1974XL_IB_A12_LowRes.pdf

I leave mine on for summer cleaning, good to know about de-icing fluid, I use ordinary windshield washer fluid.

Filter has endless cleanings... will outlast the vehicle. Used on my previous vehicle over 140,000 miles and still being used by new owner over 11months at 100 miles per day. Cleaned every 9 to 12 months for over 10 years and no signs of wear. Purchased three service kits in all the years.

Mine is 3 years old - holding up well for the most part - nearly all the weather stripping has fallen out - I too , visit the carwash occassionally - never more than once every 6-8 weeks

Yes it has to be cleaned and oiled. The indicator on the filter housing will indicate when. On average once a year in low dust conditions. You can get the kit from Toyota or use a K&N; recharge kit.

I usually clean ir about once every week and a half. I usually just rinse out the bottle and then refill as needed, maybe once a week.

You should not. Radiator fluid is design not to freeze in the winter and has a higher boiling point than water which would evaporate at a higher rate. Plus pure water can eventually rust and degrade your cooling system.

I get a little , wet plastic brush and scrub and then wipe it clean after it has cooled off of course. It cleans easily

Just wipe it down once in awhile and defrost when ice builds up. I've had mine about a year and it still works fine.

That's about right for a upgraded radiator. But in my situation I went with 3 gallons (bmw v8 w/upgraded radiator). Left me some for future use or emergency.

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.

I do it every month or two, depending on how much the wipers have been on or what I'm doing. Always apply it before a trip, as it keeps the bugs from sticking. We don't have wiper fluid available here, just water in the washer.

I rinse mine out about once a week and put it in the sun for a few hours. Keeps it great.
