2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV 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 extremely essential. This seemingly isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the central 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 create the proper 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. Give the experts at Nalley Hyundai a call at 7709990443 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service experts handle your coolant flush.
Every car manufacturer, including Hyundai has developed its own coolant or requires a precise coolant that is unique to individual years and models.

It is critical to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your car. Numerous models will not be compatible even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.

How long does 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV coolant last?
How regularly you need to flush and replenish your vehicle's coolant relies on the type of coolant. There are multiple types of coolants. Up until the mid-1990s there was essentially 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 advised 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.
