How to Top Up the Coolant on a Kia Niro

Model: Kia Niro MK 1 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Antifreeze coolant

In this video, you will see how to top up the coolant on a Kia Niro: the reservoir is located in the engine compartment between the engine block and the fuse box. You will need a funnel for easy topping up, and remember that the cap unscrews counter-clockwise. The liquid needed for topping up is Kia's "EV Battery System Antifreeze", but a good red antifreeze like Bardahl Antifreeze OA will also work, which you can purchase at a better price on Amazon with code B07JC66FF3 for £11.90 for a one-litre bottle, with free delivery. Ensure the liquid is between "Min" and "Max" and screw the cap back on. Perform this task with the engine cold.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
