2021 BMW X3 Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is normally a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are naturally half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to cut the frigid point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is extraordinarily crucial. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the prime ingredient in the classic 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 helpful coolant.

You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water extra, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being extra to the engine system. Give the veterans at Coggin BMW Treasure Coast a call at 7727425582 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service consultants handle your coolant flush.
