2020 Chevy Traverse 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 consistently half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lessen the cold point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is extremely hard.
