Hello,
I just purchased a new 2007 Kia Sedona Minivan and have a question concerning coolant selection. The manual is very generic in that it states to use an Ethylene glycol base coolant for Aluminum engines.
I am trying to get an answer as to whether it is long life or not as the service manual states that it does not need to be changed until
60,000 miles or 60 months (5 years) and then replace at 30,000 miles or 24 months after that.
Some of the local KIA dealers said just to use the normal green stuff but I want to be sure that I am topping off with the correct fluid. I have heard that KIA and asian car manufacturers use a phosphated HOAT coolant but I have yet to get an answer from KIA on what the specific antifreeze was that was put into my vehicle at the factory.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this info and/or what brand I should use for this vehicle for topping off the overflow tank?
Thanks
