Replacing coolant on a 2015 G V6

[LA Genesis]

Having just passed 30,000 miles I was prepared to replace the coolant on my Genesis. I checked the maintenance schedule and found it isn't required to be changed until 120,000 miles. When are you changing the coolant on your car? 120K sounds too infrequent to me.

Todays long life coolants allow for infrequent changes. I would not worry about not adhering to the manufacturers specifications. Heck some Mercedes recommend 150,000 miles. 30,000 miles is pretty old school in todays automotive world. Do as you please if it makes you feel good is the bottom line.

I do the coolant when I do the trans and diff fluid. Usually about 50k. Especially with the trans fluid change - there is a noticeable difference.

My V8 has the same sched. -- first coolant change after 120K miles or ten years.

I like it - don't know if I believe it, though

Make sure you purchase the OEM coolant at the Hyundai Dealer Parts Department.

I don't touch anything until the manual says it is time. Modern cars are extremely reliable ... until mechanics start working on them.

Some good advice given by some wise people here. Thank you. I think I'll hold off changing the fluid. Since I trade my cars in at 45-50K I'll never change the fluid on this car. I am pretty impressed with the relative low maintenance costs on the Genesis.
