2015 Subaru BRZ 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 generally half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is immensely vital. This probably isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the primary ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be mixed to design the proper coolant.
You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water added, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being added to the engine system. Give the experts at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley a call at 9703730692 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service advisors handle your coolant flush.
Every car manufacturer, including Subaru has developed its own coolant or requires a particular coolant that is distinct to individual years and models. There are several colors of coolants to help distinguish each including red, yellow, green, blue, purple and orange. It is crucial to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or change the coolant in your vehicle. Many models will not be compatible even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.
