CX-5 2022 cold engine coolant level is above F?

[Greg_J]

Hi guys!

I am new here and this is my first Mazda CX-5, 2.5L, 200 miles so far!

As you can see from the attached photo the cold coolant level is above the F mark.

There is no sign of coolant leaking out of the overflow hose, but still - I think it's too high..?

Should I level it with the F mark?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

If it were mine, I likely would leave it alone and see what it does for awhile. Certainly wouldn't hurt to siphon some out into a container to put back in later if you need to. I think you'd be fine either way. Whichever makes you feel better

Congratulations on your new Mazda

I've seen some come from the factory like that lately. If you're really anal about it, take out a few ounces. It's not going to hurt anything if you leave it alone

I wouldn't be too concerned about the reservoir being over filled.

What year is your car and how many miles on it? I know that you mentioned 200 miles but is that the total? The reason that I ask is because the coolant in your tank looks very dark. Perhaps it's just the pic? Mine doesn't look so dark, even with ~30k miles on it.

When you drive enough to get the system really hot I think any excess will flow out the overflow, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

I think it's the picture's exposure. The car is brand new and had 200 miles on the odometer.

I know it, and this is exactly why it bothers me as the flow-outed coolant can possibly damage the car paint (it says in manual). Additionally extra liquid causes an extra load on the water pump which is theoretically not good too.
Eventually, I leveled it.
Thank you guys for all your answers.
