Maintenance and Specifications

Adding engine coolant

Use only Mazda Genuine Engine Coolant or a premium engine coolant that meets a Mazda specification.

DO NOT USE Extended Life Engine Coolant (orange in color).

DO NOT USE a DEX-COOL®engine coolant or an equivalent engine coolant.

DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.

DO NOT USE supplemental coolant additives in your vehicle. These additives may harm your engine's cooling system.

DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the correct coolant is used.

DO NOT MIX recycled coolant and conventional coolant together in your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants may harm your engine's cooling system.

The use of an improper coolant may harm engine and cooling system components and may void the warranty of your vehicle's engine cooling system. If you are unsure which type of coolant your vehicle requires, contact your local authorized dealer.

WARNING: Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid reservoir. If engine coolant is sprayed onto the windshield, it could make it difficult to see through the windshield.

When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir, when the engine is cool , until the appropriate fill level is obtained.

NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.

NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

Engine coolant concentrations above 60% or below 40% will decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.

A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
