Tesla Roadster

Main Battery Coolant System Flush

Tesla Roadster โ€” Main Battery Coolant System Flush

Keep the Roadsterโ€™s main traction battery running cool and healthy with a professional coolant system flush and refill.
We completely evacuate the aging coolant, purge trapped air, and refill with the correct Sierra propylene glycol (PG) 50/50 mix to restore proper thermal performance and protect the pack from heat-related stress.

The Roadsterโ€™s ~1000-lb multi-cell Li-ion battery relies on a closed-loop liquid circuit to pull heat away during charging and spirited driving. As coolant ages, its corrosion protection, pH balance, and thermal efficiency degrade, and air pockets can form. A scheduled 4-year coolant replacement (Tesla guidance, regardless of mileage) helps maintain even temperature across the pack, reduces risk of localized hot spots, and supports long-term battery health and reliability.

  • Tesla-recommended interval โ€” coolant replaced every 4 years regardless of mileage to match OEM guidance.
  • Correct coolant only โ€” refill with Sierra antifreeze coolant-PG, mixed 50/50 (distilled water + full-strength Sierra propylene glycol).
  • No cross-contamination โ€” system fully drained and refilled; we do not mix with other coolant types.
  • System inspection โ€” visual check of coolant tank, hoses, clamps, pump area, and accessible fittings for leaks or deterioration.
  • Proper bleeding & circulation โ€” Roadster-specific fill/bleed procedure to remove air pockets and verify flow through the pack loop.
  • Battery life protection โ€” supports stable battery temperatures to help minimize thermal stress over the life of the ESS.
  • APS Unit (DC-DC Converter) โ€” This vital component inside the ESS battery pack also depends on coolant flow and we have seen compromised systems create failure in the electronics of this device.

TIP

Maintenance Tip:
Tesla specifies that the Roadsterโ€™s battery coolant be replaced every 4 years regardless of mileage.ย  Always use only Sierra antifreeze coolant-PG in a 50/50 mix (distilled water and full-strength Sierra propylene glycol. Do not top off or mix with any other coolant chemistry, as cross-contamination can reduce heat transfer, cause deposits or gelling, and compromise this critical cooling function for the main battery.ย  A clean, correctly-filled system is one of the best defenses against premature ESS aging.
