The coolant in your vehicle should be changed if you haven’t changed it in a year or in the past 20,000 miles; if your vehicle constantly loses liquid in the system and overheats easily; or if you’ve frequently added plain water to your cooling system to the point where it’s probably lowered the proportion of coolant to less than half the required 50/50 mixture.
Even if none of the above is true, your coolant may still need a change. An ATV, or all terrain vehicle as defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is a quad, quad bike, three wheeler, four wheeler or even six wheeler that travels on low-pressure tires.
If you don’t have a pressurized coolant recovery system, you have to add liquid directly to the radiator. If you must add liquid to the radiator if the engine is still warm, always do so slowly with the engine running. This way, the cold liquid joins the stream of hot water that’s circulating through the system rather than falling all at once into the system when you start the engine again.
To add liquid to your radiator, follow these steps: If your car has a coolant recovery system, you can check the level of liquid on the side of the plastic reservoir. You just open the cap on the reservoir to check whether the coolant looks as though it needs changing or to add water and coolant. Many vehicles have a pressurized coolant recovery system called an expansion tank that makes opening the radiator unnecessary. These systems are considered “sealed” because the safety pressure cap is on the recovery reservoir rather than on the radiator.
