2016 Hyundai Accent sport green coolant
 
I have a 2016 Accent sport 6 speed manual roughly around 58,000 miles. I was going to change the coolant due to age and before winter time, it is green so suspect it is OEM coolant.

Is there a pre-mixed ready to use that is compatible version that is presently in it? I had bought this for a daily driver roughly 2 years ago however I am not driving it as much as working remote.

thanks

There is a pre mixed product available with "Long Life" feature.

Entire system needs to be drained , then new coolant added.

Thank you for replying is the 'stock OEM' coolant the standard 'green'?

Yes, most of the time.
If unsure, check what your owner's manual states.

I will check it out, I called up a dealer and most likely will go get the OEM green and get some distilled water and mix 50/50.

I wish they had it 50/50 like it seems for other coolants. Just easier to do as need another 1 gallon jug to do the mixing.

thanks

As soon as you start the engine the coolant gets circulated and if you install a gallon of straight anti freeze then add 1 gallon of water , it will mix it up very well.
Your main concern is to make sure you get all the air out of the cooling system when filling.

Thanks Hanky - the closest dealer is about an hour or more from me so I will be getting it most likely next Mon/Tuesday. Really like this forum,

thanks again,
Scott
