Debunking Car Myths: What Really Works and What Doesn’t

Myth: Coolant Needs To Be Changed With Your Oil

The belief that coolant should be changed as often as oil is unnecessary. While it’s essential to check coolant levels regularly, coolant changes are only needed every five years or around 30,000 miles for most vehicles.

Over-frequent coolant changes are not required, but it’s wise to monitor levels periodically, especially before extreme weather, to prevent engine overheating or freezing.
