Do I have to change the coolant in a 4s shop?

The coolant does not have to be replaced in 4s. You can also go to the repair shop to replace it. If the owner has strong hands-on ability, you can also replace it by yourself. The 4s shop will be more assured to replace the coolant, and the technology of replacing the coolant and the quality of the coolant will be guaranteed. If you are replacing the coolant in a repair shop, you must pay attention to whether the quality of the replaced coolant is good or not. If the quality of the coolant is not good, its heat dissipation and temperature reduction ability is relatively poor, and it cannot dissipate the engine well, which is very easy. Cause engine wear.

If the car owner wants to check whether the coolant needs to be added, he can open the front head cover to find the location of the coolant spare tank. The location of the coolant spare tank is very conspicuous. When you see blue, green or purple, you know it is. There is a spare coolant tank, and the color depends on the brand and model. There will be two standard lines in the coolant reserve tank, one is the lower limit line and the other is the upper limit line. If the coolant is lower than the lower limit line, then you need to add the coolant, and you can't exceed the upper limit line when you add it.
