coolant drain and refill 2017 Elantra

[flinter]

Hi,
As my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition approaches 60K, I plan on having the coolant drained and refill. Is the safest bet to use my dealer for this service, or can I trust a reputable trusted independent shop to use the correct coolant and mix?
Is the 50/50 premixed from Peak or Xerex, just as good as using the concentrate and adding the water for the correct mix? Someone on here said
the 50/50 premixed stuff is crap.
Thanks

Do it yourself. It is so easy. I'd pick up 2 gallons of coolant at the dealer.

Coolant isn't required to be replaced until 120,000 miles.

The 50/50 premix contains the same coolant as the concentrate but in an easier-to-use formula ready to pour into the radiator. All you have to do is drain the radiator and refill. The Lisle Coolant Funnel is awesome

As you said, both Peak and Zerex are good stuff, as is Pentoforst A2

I didn't know Hyundai still required coolant every 60k! Most modern coolant intervals are 100k now

Yeah, I think it's a little early.

I'm guessing a dealer "suggested" it.

5 Years or 120K. Probably going by time. personally, I'd skip that and go by mileage. I changed mine at 100K.
