2026 Kia Seltos Coolant in Burlington, MA

These signs can reflect depleted coolant, a low level or a leak, so the condition found during service determines the next step. Do not open the cooling system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it should be done cold. A pressure test helps identify whether fluid is escaping.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
• 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 separate coolant service that is due from a leak requiring repair. The inspection adds context to the fluid replacement by checking the surrounding cooling-system components.

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

For this vehicle, the manufacturer publishes cooling-system inspection every 30,000 miles and coolant flush or replacement every 120,000 miles. Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between those points. If the level keeps dropping or a pressure test finds a leak, the condition found determines what service is needed.

• Cooling-system inspection every 30,000 miles
• Coolant flush or replacement every 120,000 miles
• Condition testing during a service visit between scheduled points

The correct choice is determined by the manufacturer's specification for this vehicle, not by a bottle's color. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, and mixing incompatible coolants can affect protection and system performance. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can service the vehicle using the specified coolant.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not treat coolants as interchangeable
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

The cooling system is hot and under pressure after the vehicle runs, so checking it should be done cold and the system should not be opened while hot. A recurring low level calls for an inspection and pressure test. Those checks can identify whether coolant service is due or whether a leak needs repair.

• Top-off restores level only
• Repeated level loss points to a possible leak
• Cold inspection and pressure testing identify the condition

Describe the concern, such as a sweet smell, a puddle, a low reservoir or a temperature gauge running higher than usual.
