2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Coolant in Burlington, MA

Coolant that looks rusty, cloudy, or low in the reservoir is another reason to book an inspection. A dropping level may indicate a leak rather than normal consumption. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done when the vehicle is cold.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet coolant smell or a puddle beneath the front
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. The pressure test helps distinguish a coolant service from a leak that needs repair. The system should be checked cold because it is pressurized and hot after operation.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water-pump area

A service visit can test coolant condition between scheduled maintenance points and check the system for leaks. The condition found during inspection helps determine whether the vehicle needs a drain and refill or a repair. Do not open the cooling system while it is hot or pressurized.

• Coolant condition can be evaluated at a service visit
• Pressure testing helps identify leaks
• The condition found determines the next step

Coolants are not interchangeable, and colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can use the manufacturer-specified coolant type and concentration during service. The vehicle should be checked cold, since its cooling system is hot and pressurized after operation.

• Follow the manufacturer's coolant specification
• Do not choose coolant based on colour alone
• Do not treat different coolant products as interchangeable

If the level keeps falling, the vehicle may have a leak rather than normal coolant consumption. A pressure test and inspection can identify whether the system needs repair or whether coolant condition calls for service. Never open the system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it is done cold.

• Adding coolant restores level only
• Depleted additives are not restored by topping off
• A repeatedly low level calls for leak inspection
