Admin can you move this portion to a different corner of this forum: current Mazda owners with wandering eyes. The fans are at slateforums. I haven't seen one in person yet.

Ahh, interesting! Funny about the wrong coolant, I wonder if using a different coolant could cause some type of mild corrosion, or deterioration of head gasket and cause a small weep.

By the looks of your wear metal values, everything seems great and will likely last a long time!

I'll likely try and do them until i'm out of warranty and then try not to care. I love and hate owning a newer car. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to just lease a Toyota, do the bare min maintenance and toss it at the end.

I thought the leak had something to do with the generic Peak formula that I used to refresh the cooling system. The lab tech didn't think they could do that in such a short period of time. And I only used enough to fill the radiator.

Is there a Toyota that you like? I love the look of rugged Toyotas but absolutely don't need a vehicle of that caliber. My next car is going to be the Slate EV.

Thanks so much! I am keeping my Mazdas no matter what. Just don't want to worry about coolant leaks or coolant in oil any more.
