Protecting your radiator in your Kia is important, especially considering the damage down the line will be significant. The best way to provide this protection is with a coolant fluid exchange service. Coolant fluid is designed to consume the heat that travels from the engine to the radiator, dissipating it throughout the system. This fluid is made from a mixture of chemicals that immediately shifts the temperature coursing through the vehicle. The tolerance that this fluid has for heat is overwhelming with it being used constantly, but it does require periodic flushes and exchanges to maintain performance.
During a coolant fluid exchange service, a certified technician will utilize test strips to check the pH balance of the coolant fluid. Higher levels of this test suggest levels of corrosion in the fluid. At that point, the technician will add a cleaner to the fluid that will break up and remove these corroded areas. Once the cleaner and the old fluid has been flushed from the system, they will fill the coolant basin with fresh coolant.
This is a service that should happen periodically, for most vehicles this is around 50,000 miles for colder climates and 75,000 – 100,000 miles for warmer areas. Having this service done regularly maintains the performance of your radiator and engine, maximizing their lifespans and preventing significant damage from happening to your Kia. If the coolant is not able to maintain the heat that is generating throughout the car, you could find yourself in a dangerous situation with a smoking engine on the highway.
