Hello,
I just purchased a new 2007 KIA Sedona minivan and am trying to find
out what type of antifreeze was used as the factory fill. Is it long
life or regular green antifreeze? The owners manual simply says to use
a Ethylene glycol based product for aluminum engines. The maint
schedule says to change at 60,000 miles or 5 years and then change at
30,000 miles or 2 years after that. (Would this indicate long life or
just regular green antifreeze)?
I have also read that KIA uses a phosphated HOAT antifreeze but have
not been able to confirm.
Local dealers say to just top off with the standard ethyl glycol green
stuff but I want to be sure that I am not mixing different coolants
when I top off the resevoir and possibly cause the antifreeze to be
less protective. There are so many different colors and types of
antifreeze sold these days I just want to be consistent.
Anyone have any information as to what exactly was the factory fill?
Thanks In Advance
