What Does Coolant Do For Your Kia?

Coolant is a diluted version of antifreeze that regulates your engine’s temperature, preventing damage from the extreme heat or freezing cold we experience during Canada’s fluctuating seasons. In the case of summer specifically, coolant will help protect your engine against overheating, which can be extremely damaging to your engine’s components, impact its fuel consumption rates by placing a greater strain on its performance, and stunt its overall lifespan, leaving you to shell out for expensive repairs.

What Happens if You Don’t Replace Your Coolant?

As with any of your regularly-scheduled maintenance, putting off a quick coolant check-up can have serious consequences for your Kia’s health in the long term. As well as overheating, your engine can suffer damage, corrosion, and eventual failure, and hoses and seals will leak with wear, tear, and age. Additionally, ignoring the maintenance schedule as laid out by Kia risks voiding your warranty, meaning any maintenance costs you pay as a result will come straight out of your pocket without any financial support to soften the blow. So much for those plane tickets you were saving for!

How Often Should You Replace Your Coolant?

According to Kia’s recommendations, you should get your coolant checked every 30,000 km or 24 months–whichever comes first. If it’s been a while, why not play it safe with a quick appointment at Lally Kia in Chatham, ON?
