I have a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe and it's due for its first coolant change. I've noticed that with many OEM parts, the exact part number can be provided to the Kia dealer and it ends up costing less vs a Hyundai dealer.
The manual only describes the coolant requirements generically as "ethylene glycol based", however, I would be more comfortable sticking with OEM only due to how much variance there is in coolant chemistry by different makes. I am assuming Hyundai does not use any special super long life formulation because the first change is recommended at 5 years (100,000kms), and subsequent changes every 2 year (50,000 kms).
So my question is, are there different coolant types to pay attention to at the Hyundai dealer that is a direct OEM replacement? Does anyone know if the exact substitute can be obtained from the Kia dealer instead? Preferably a concentrate, but I'm not sure if many OEMs offer that anymore.
Any information would be great. Thanks!
