Cooling system maintenance, including coolant replacement, can introduce air pockets, as can air entering through the coolant reservoir in some vehicle models.

Cooling system drain and fill, also known as a coolant flush or radiator flush, involves removing old coolant, cleaning the system to eliminate sediment and rust, and refilling it with fresh coolant and a corrosion inhibitor.
