Hyundai Veloster 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 ordinarily half water and half ethylene glycol.

Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the tolerable coolant.
You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water added, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being added to the engine system.
