Hyundai Venue Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is frequently a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are typically half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is exceedingly vital. This probably isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the primary ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be mixed to design the correct coolant.

You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water added, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being added to the engine system.

Your heater may stop working

Unexpected grinding noises can come from the engine
Your check engine light may turn on
Steam will come from the radiator or hood
Your temperature gauge will read far above normal with the engine on for a few minutes.

How often should you change coolant in a Hyundai Venue?

When you bring your car into Arapahoe Hyundai, we will check your fluid levels and examine it for debris or sediment which can harm the engine, and make sure it's diluted correctly. It's essential to have this checked each 15,000 miles to make sure you catch any issues before they cause dramatic damage. When it comes to your Hyundai Venue engine, it's better safe than sorry.

How long does Hyundai Venue coolant last?

How frequently you need to flush and replenish your vehicle's coolant relies on the type of coolant. There are numerous types of coolants. Up until the mid-1990s there was virtually only a single type of coolant. It was a green formula coolant that contained corrosion inhibitors that only lasted between 24,000 - 36,000 miles or between two to three years. This type of coolant is not suggested for newer vehicles which come equipped with a longer-lasting coolant.

Newer coolants use an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) and last up to twice as long as older coolant. In some cases these long-life coolants can last over 5 years or 100,000 miles.

If you run out of coolant completely due to a leak or poor fluid levels, your complete engine system can be compromised from the gaskets to the pistons or even the engine block itself.

What kind of coolant does Hyundai Venue use?

There are multiple types and colors of coolant from inorganic to organic to hybrid. To make things even more disconcerting, the color of the coolant doesn't consistently mean the same thing.
