Use Antifreeze or Coolant

Similarly to your engine oil, an improper mix of antifreeze or coolant can clog up your engine instead of protecting it against freezing temperatures. Consult your owner’s manual or reach out to the experts at Key Yorkton Kia for more information about the right combination for your Kia this winter (usually 50% antifreeze and 50% water), and double check that your Kia’s fluids are topped off enough before you set out. Don’t forget to inspect your fluids for quality as well as quantity; if your antifreeze or coolant appears murky or discoloured, it’s time to schedule a coolant flush at Key Yorkton Kia to keep things running smoothly.
