coolant

What’s the expectation for how much coolant drains from radiator. I drained mine and only got 1/2 gallon. Everything to read/watched said to expect a gallon. Refilled with a gallon of fluid. Would the expansion tank still have fluid in it if the radiator was that low. It was right on...

One thing that I have learned after a cooling disaster on my MINI is that by turning on the heater, the coolant in the heater core gets to mix with the rest of the fluid and helps bring down the temperature slightly. Now that I am watching the temperature of the CX-3 more closely, I tried this...

I have recently bought a used 2011, 1.3l, Mazda 2. It's been having some pretty big coolant leaks and it looks like its coming from the nearside of the radiator. There is some foam that lines it, which is soaking wet and crumbling in my hands. Does anyone know how to fix this / What this is...

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...

I have about 430 miles on my 2019 2.5 liter cx5 and since were starting to get to warmer weather I was wondering something... If I start my cx5 cold and drive it about 3 miles with outside temp around 70- 80 the coolant temperature guage is almost touching the 210 degree f.. mark...

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...
