Radiator Coolant Replacement @ $60 / service
Importance of Coolant
Coolant, also known as radiator fluid, It protects the car’s engine from overheating as well as freezing by flowing through a car’s engine and radiator through hoses. However, like all other consumables in your car, coolant deteriorates over time, becoming acidic by nature. It no longer functions the way it’s supposed to. Hence it needs to be changed at certain intervals.
The coolant does not just keep the engine cool, it also prevents corrosion and scale build-up. Hence, it’s important to keep an eye on it and top it off as and when needed, to ensure longevity of the engine and the car.
How often should you change it?
- Though the frequency of changing the coolant varies with the car’s brand, age and mileage, ideally it should be changed after the first 100,000km and then every 50,000km. Environmental regulators prefer cars to have longer intervals so as to reduce waste fluids. Hence, quite a few automakers have equipped their vehicles with long-life coolants.
- Ideally the coolant level should be between the ‘min’ and ‘max’ levels. If it has gone below the minimum level, it needs to be replaced.
- If you find slight discoloration in the fluid inside the radiator, then it should be changed immediately.
- When small fragments or dirt is found on the top of the fluid indicating its impurity then the cause needs to be detected and coolant changed.
- Also the type of coolant you use and the environment you use the car in determines the frequency in changing coolant.
