At Russ Darrow Kia of Wauwatosa, we operate a certified Kia service department with a team of expertly trained service staff that understand the Kia engine cooling system and its routine coolant fluid exchange maintenance professionally. We have an expert’s understanding of how the water pump, hoses, lines, radiator, thermostat, and coolant fluid work together absorbing and removing excessive engine heat. The extreme environment in which coolant fluid flows causes thermal breakdown, contamination, and can often allow the fluid to leak from worn hoses or lines. Because coolant fluid is vital to engine performance, reliability, and longevity, we always recommend following Kia’s recommendation for your model’s coolant fluid exchange service at the specified mileage. No matter if you drive a Kia Sportage from Milwaukee, Sorento from Brookfield, Stinger from West Allis, or Soul from Glendale needing coolant fluid exchange, we provide quality coolant fluid exchange service for all vehicles from our service department in Wauwatosa.

Engine Maintenance & Routine Coolant Fluid Exchange 101

All Kia car, truck, minivan, and SUV models with a combustion engine come equipped with an engine cooling system with the sole responsibility of removing excessive heat. The engine cooling system keeps the engine cool by circulating coolant fluid through the engine collecting the heat and carrying that heat away from the engine. The engine cooling system’s performance comes down to the condition and performance of the sub-components, including the condition of the coolant fluid. Since we know that coolant fluid will eventually lose integrity due to contamination or leaks, it is an excellent decision to follow Kia’s recommendation for coolant fluid exchanges at the specified mileage.
