Hey everyone, I have a 2022 Rivian R1T Adventure and I'm wondering about the battery coolant. What's the recommended interval for flushing or changing it? I've seen varying info online and want to make sure I'm doing proper preventative maintenance. Is this something a DIYer can tackle, or is it strictly a dealer job? I want to keep my truck running optimally for years to come!

Summary: For R1T Battery Coolant Flush Interval?, work through these steps on your 2015+ vehicle:

  1. Confirm the symptom — note when it happens (cold start, highway, after fuel fill, etc.).
  2. Scan codes — save all pending/stored DTCs; don't clear until you've recorded them.
  3. Check TSBs & recalls — look up your VIN for open campaigns and known fixes.
  4. Inspect the obvious — related fuses, connectors, fluid level, and recent repairs.
  5. Test the common fix — follow model-specific service procedures; one change at a time.
  6. Escalate if needed — burning smell, no brakes, overheating, or stalling in traffic → shop visit.
