coolant

Just bought a 2008 CX-9 with only 158,000 on the dash. I just did a coolant drain and fill because there is not that much records and this service was not ever done. Sending a photo to see you guys think this is the original FL22? I went with Zerex Asian because I couldn't stomach $25 for the...

I watched a few videos online regarding how to change the FL-22 coolant in a CX-5, and not one of them showed anything more than draining the fluid from the radiator, then refilling the radiator with water to sort of flush it out, running the engine to temperature, and draining it again...

Hey all! Im still learning alot when it comes to working on my cars. Last May my radiator failed, broke the thermostat, and caused the car to overheat and the coolant reservoir to boil over and warp. I took on the challenge of changing my radiator and waterpump then drove 5k miles cross country...

So I just recently replaced the radiator on an '07 CX-9 that was leaky and have been watching the coolant level and ground for any leaks. I didn't notice any leaks initially and have been using the Prestone prediluted neon green stuff. Well today I noticed coolant resevoir was low. I brought it...

Once my speed hits operating temp, idling or coming off acceleration, stunningly large clouds of white smoke billow from my exhaust. I have no noticeable power loss. I don't SEE any lost fluids. White indicates water/antifreeze and a little can produce a lot of smoke Symptoms: P0140 CEL...

Hi everyone I'm a long time Mazda owner and currently I have the 2012 CX-5 Skyactive diesel (auto) The last three weeks I noticed it losing power going up steep hills. Then last week as I tried to over take a truck which meant putting my foot hard on the accelerator the coolant light came on...

Hey Gang, Luckily, for the past year or so I haven't had many issues with my 02 protege5 and it's now approaching 100,000 miles. Recently, I noticed there was this constant rapid ticking noise coming from the engine. It almost sounded like a lawnmower noise and it would occur at low rpms and...

Check engine light for ect sensor... So I have a cel for the engine coolant sensor. Long story short I swapped all the wiring from a donor car into my 99 so now it's a 2.0. with the coolant sensor plugged in the car runs for 2 mins then shuts off. Will not start until fully cooled off. My buddy...

Hey everybody this is my first time posting on here other than buying things in the for sale section. Ive always thought this forum was really useful for information on miatas I've owned and now for my P5 too so i though somebody out there might be able to shed some light on my problem.. A week...

my 3s hatchback(75k miles, so not too long on coolant for factory fill) a/c got warm for a second so i looked down at my gauges and noticed the temp was slightly high and moving up, slowly. turned the a/c off and it helped some, however it started going up again later. so i turn the heater on...

I need help!! I have a 2002 Miata - have not had any problems with it until now. It started running on the hot side a few weeks ago only when the A/c was on - gauge needle never got all the way to the H but it was halfway there from normal. Then the last few days even after the a/c is off it...

Was driving from New York to Ohio and experienced an overheating condition. 2.0 FS-DE, all stock, 217k miles, broken A/C compressor, A/C always turned off. I stopped the car when the temperature gauge went to 75%. Oil level was normal, and coolant fan was working, but I topped it off anyway, and...

My 2006 Mazda 6 is over heating when I drive and then sit or if I let it sit and idle. There are no leaks that I know of and the temperature goes back down when I turn on the heat. It drives fine other wise. Anyone know what might be the issue?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 06 Mazda 6i as second vehicle to commute with and have been having weird issues specifically with the engine coolant gauge and fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. I noticed that when the engine shut off, the needles for both gauges sit well below what I...

Im curious if the overflow tank is part of the coolant capacity listed in the owners manual for my car (Protg 5 with heater). For my car it shows approximate 7.9 quarts of coolant capacity. And the problem I have is this. When I do a coolant flush and on cooled off engine I open the drain on the...

I am struggling to pinpoint a pretty bad coolant leak thats coming from above my oil filter in my msp. We're thinking it could be an oil coolant line but with the oil filter in the way and not having the means to take things off to really check and see, we're not exactly sure what to do. I can't...

I have a 2002 Mazda Protege5 built on 04/01? Which I'm guessing is April Fools Day...well, they've made a fool out of me, because I cannot find an OEM or a reproduction OEM Spec coolant reservoir that fits my car. My vehicle uses a type of slide in metal bracket to hold it in place(the reservoir...

I have to refill coolant about every 100 miles with no apparent leak. Temp remains in middle until fluid becomes low then rapidly rises. I still have to perform more "run it and stare at it" trouble shooting, but here are some details: First look: 1. I don't see any fluid on ground, or...

Hey guys I know this might be a super-noob question but I was wondering how to drain the coolant out or flush the coolant out of the radiator? I've seen a few videos on YouTube showing just a drain bolt on the bottom of the radiator where you can drain it and fill it back up. I would just like...

So I've decided to finally do a transmission flush to my P5, now with 150k and decided to go with the redline mt90 which seems to be the favorite from most the people on this website. So I think I almost fully understand how to drain it correctly but I was wondering if its necessary to lift it...
