Antifreeze/Coolant Replacement

Antifreeze/Coolant Replacement

What is the purpose of antifreeze/coolant? Antifreeze/coolant is designed to keep your engine running at normal operating temperatures and to prevent freezing during the cold winter months.

Why is an antifreeze/coolant replacement important? Over time and kilometers driven, your antifreeze/coolant loses its chemical properties and becomes contaminated with rust and scale deposits—resulting in engine overheating, the #1 cause of engine breakdown!

How is this corrected? Honda Canada recommends an antifreeze/coolant replacement at 7 years of vehicle ownership. Your Honda-trained technician will remove the old antifreeze/coolant and replace it with Genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant and then perform a complete inspection including all hoses and connections.

Is it time to schedule your antifreeze/coolant replacement? If your Honda has been on the road for over 7 years, it’s time for an Antifreeze/Coolant Replacement Service. Having this service performed will ensure long engine life and safe, peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
