Coolant Fluid Exchange Service

Explaining Coolant Fluid

Coolant fluid has one basic job - to change the boiling and freezing points of the water it mixes with. Although coolant fluid is ideal for getting this job done to prevent water from freezing or boiling inside the engine as it keeps the engine running cool. The problem with this situation is that coolant will eventually get contamination or leak from a worn part. It is for these reasons that coolant fluid requires routine exchanges to keep the engine running at the specified temperature for ideal fuel efficiency. The best way to ensure that coolant fluid remains at its best is by scheduling exchange service at the specified mileage or when the coolant fluid maintenance light signals to do so.

When Will My Honda Need to Exchange Its Coolant/Antifreeze?

Every Honda model with an internal combustion engine including hybrids will need to exchange the coolant when the time comes. For newer Honda model years, you'll know when it's time for coolant fluid exchange service when the coolant fluid monitoring system signals the dashboard light. Honda generally includes coolant replacement at the 45,000, 75,000, and 105,000-mile intervals. If your Honda is approaching its first 45,000 miles, it is an excellent decision to schedule routine maintenance including coolant fluid exchange.
