The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with yellow-colored Mazda

Premium Engine Coolant meeting Mazda Specifications.

To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system

and maintain the warranty on the cooling system:

Add Mazda Premium Engine Coolant.

Do not mix

different colors or types of coolant. Verify the type of

coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the correct coolant is used.

Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such

as Mazda Speciality Orange Engine Coolant, meeting Mazda

specifications with the factory-filled coolant.

Mixing Mazda

Speciality Orange Engine Coolant or any orange-colored extended life

product with your factory filled coolant can result in degraded

corrosion protection.

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.

Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine or any engine coolants

mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant).

Alcohol

and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or

freezing.

Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant.

These

can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine

coolant.

For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap

on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery

reservoir when the engine is cool. Add the proper mixture of coolant and

water to the “cold full” level. For all other vehicles, which have a coolant

degas system with a pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to remove the

coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow

system, follow these steps to add engine coolant.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the

engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief

cap. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid

can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.

1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.
