Coolant

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 Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, meeting Mazda specifications with the factory-filled coolant. Mixing Mazda Specialty 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.
