Coolant Service in Lincoln, NE

Have you noticed issues relating to your Kia’s supply of coolant fluid? If this is the case, we’d like to invite you to our on-site Service Department at Kia of Lincoln to have this addressed! For further information, continue reading the synopsis below. 

Purpose

Coolant is actually equal parts of two different fluids, that being water and antifreeze. Because of this unique combination, it can boast a wide variety of colors, such as green, blue, purple, and many more. Regardless of its hue, you will find that its function largely stays the same, that being to regulate the temperature of your engine. This is possible because it is inhibited from freezing or boiling under natural conditions, keeping your powertrain at a suitable equilibrium. While coolant is hardy and will last a while, it will eventually need to be completely exchanged. 

Coolant Service

In most cases, we suggest having your coolant flushed once every 30,000 miles, or two years. This can vary from one model to another, so be sure to check your Owner’s Manual for more details. To receive this service, simply schedule an appointment with our team of certified technicians. They’ll get started on your vehicle by verifying the condition of your coolant first. If the supply is simply lower than usual, it will be topped off, and you can be back on your way across Route 77. But if there appear to be particles floating in the liquid, then it may have become contaminated. If this is the case, you will need to have the entire reservoir flushed and replaced with a fresh batch. 

Warning Signs

Whenever your supply of coolant is beginning to fail, you will likely begin to observe a variety of warning signs. For instance, your engine may have to work harder than it normally does, resulting in a lower fuel economy rating. You may also observe that the engine temperature gauge shows overheating occurring, which you will want to address before your next trip to Holmes Lake Park. If you observe a sweet odor permeating from your vehicle, this may indicate that a coolant leak has occurred.
