2017 Honda CRV 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 usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the chilly point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is extremely basic. Interestingly enough, this isn't the original time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the main ingredient in the well-known term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the contractual coolant.
You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water additional, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being additional to the engine system. Give the experts at Nalley Honda a call at 7707568717 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service experts handle your coolant flush.
Every vehicle manufacturer, including Honda has developed its own coolant or requires a singular coolant that is unique to individual years and models. There are several colors of coolants to help distinguish each including red, blue, purple green, yellow, and orange. It is necessary to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your vehicle. Many models will not be visible even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.
