Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Form No. 8R21-EA-02G
If its at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F.
Do not overfill.
If new coolant is required frequently,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Changing Coolant (Without Rear
Heater)
Change coolant according to Scheduled
Maintenance (page 8-3).
For mixture percentage:
To change coolant
1. Remove the cooling system cap.
Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly.
Use only soft (demineralized) water
in the coolant mixture. Water that
contains minerals will cut down on
the coolants effectiveness.
Dont add only water. Always add a
proper coolant mixture.
The engine has aluminum parts and
must be protected by an ethylene-
glycol-based coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
antifreeze. DO NOT MIX alcohol
or methanol with the coolant. This
could damage the cooling system.
Dont use a solution that contains
more than 60 % antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.

engine damage and could result in
serious injury from escaping hot
