Kia Sedona: Recommended engine coolant
- When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle

by an ethylene-glycolbased coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
- DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the specified coolant.
- Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixture percentage, refer to the following table.
