The 2012 Chevy Sonic uses Dex-cool Orange 50/50 antifreeze engine coolant, with a capacity of around 6 quarts. Coolant is essential for transferring heat in the engine to prevent damage from freezing or boiling. It also protects metal and non-metal parts in the cooling system. The cost to have your coolant changed is typically between $130 and $160. It’s recommended to have a coolant change every 5 years or 150,000 miles.
