2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is typically a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to cut the hasty point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is highly basic. Interestingly enough, this isn't the earliest time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the main ingredient in the long-established term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the apt 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 specialists at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Pierce a call at 7725772694 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service advisors handle your coolant flush.
