Recycled engine coolant

Not all coolant recycling processes produce coolant which meets

Mazda recommended coolants. Use of a recycled engine coolant

which does not meet the Mazda recommended coolant, may harm

engine and cooling system components.

Always dispose of used automotive fluids in a responsible manner.

Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling and

disposing of automotive fluids.

Coolant refill capacity

To find out how much fluid your vehicle’s cooling system can hold, refer

to

Maintenance product specifications and capacities

in this chapter.

Fill your engine coolant reservoir as outlined in

Adding engine coolant

in this section.

Severe climates

If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than –34°F [–36°C]):

It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration

above 50%.

NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.

Increased engine coolant concentrations above 60% will

decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine

coolant and may cause engine damage.

Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the

coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate

freeze protection at the temperatures in which you drive in the

winter months.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:

It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration

above 40%.

NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will

decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine

coolant and may cause engine damage.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will

decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine

coolant and may cause engine damage.
