low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to

Adding

engine coolant

in this chapter.

WARNING: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not
use engine coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle location.

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 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 the engine is cool, add a

50/50 mixture

of engine coolant and

distilled water to the engine coolant reservoir, until the coolant is at the
“cold fill level” or within the “cold fill range” as listed in the engine
coolant reservoir (depending upon application).

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.
