I recently bought a Kia Ceed and want to make sure I am properly maintaining the cooling system. How often should I flush the radiator and replace the coolant? Should I also check the hoses and belts regularly? Any other tips for keeping the cooling system in top shape?
ReplyIt is recommended to flush the radiator and replace the coolant every 30,000 miles or every 3 years, whichever comes first. As for checking the hoses and belts, it is recommended to do so during every oil change or every 6 months. This will ensure your cooling system remains efficient and prevents any potential issues.
