Engine coolant is an important yet often overlooked liquid that keeps your vehicle from overheating and causing a great deal of damage. It is a part of a standard Santa Fe car tune up but most people pay much less attention to it than their Santa Fe oil change. To prevent that from happening, it is important that you check your coolant levels regularly and immediately address any problems.

Remember that before doing any work around your engine, you need to turn off your vehicle and wait for the engine to cool.

Once you have opened the hood and located coolant overflow tank, locate the “full” and “low” marks on the tank. The blue liquid in the tank is the coolant should be as close to the full line as possible.

If the tank is well below the full line, refill it with new coolant to full and also take note of how low it is. If you are finding that you are constantly having to replace your coolant, or if there is nearly no coolant in the tank, you may have a leak.

If this happens, it’s important that you head to a mechanic to get the problem addresses right away.
