Thank you for sharing the step by step. Now I'll be ready to do mine when it's needed. I like how you clean all of the parts that you disassembled to complete this task. It shows a person that pays attention to the details and takes pride in caring for his cars. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more.
I like how meticulous you are in your work, cleaning and doing things so accurately and carefully. I have a new (used) 2019 CX5 that need this done badly. I just always can never get 100%, not even 75% of all the old coolant out even after running the heater and getting the engine temp high which I do not like to do.
Thanks Dan. I did mine today in our 2016 CX9. It's been about 10 years since I have done this (that long since I have owned a car during the service interval) so it was good reminder!
Hey FD, great to see a new video of yours featuring the Mazda. I'm your subscriber in Texas who owns two CX-5s, a 2014 model and the other a 2015. Since you hadn't done this service yet, I did a complete coolant flush to my 2014 car last summer. At 50,000 miles (not kilometers) I found this really wasn't necessary as the coolant that came out was as green and sweet smelling as the new FL22 that I put back in. Compare that to the transmission service I did where the fluid was brown and nasty. I took about a week to perform my coolant service as I used a radiator flush chemical that again wasn't needed at 50,000 miles. Once I drained the radiator as you show, I used compressed air to remove as much fluid from the system as possible. Then I added the radiator flush chemical and many gallons of distilled water. All during the week I'd drain the radiator and add more distilled water in order to get out all the antifreeze that was circulating in the engine and heater core. Once I was satisfied that all the old fluid was out I used a cool bit of kit that I had bought to service the radiators on my BMW motorcycles that don't care for ANY air in the system. Google UView Airlift Coolant Refill Tool. I used this tool and one of my large air compressors to literally suck in the new FL22 without introducing any air bubbles. Also cleaned my overflow reservoir just as you but my tank has two lines - one for Cold and the other for Hot. Another super video Felix! Looking for you to change out the water pump belt next (not the easier serpentine belt). Take care!
Got to get that water pump belt on the crank pulley and push/pull onto the smooth part of the water pump pulley. It will stay put once on there. Then turn the crank while pushing it over. Wear gloves and watch you don’t catch your fingers. Keep cranking. It will catch.
Yep, replacing that belt wasn't hard at all. It's mainly a space issue if you have large hands. And since I changed the spark plugs at the same time, the engine was much easier to crank over. Definitely helped getting that water pump belt on.
FD, very informative and useful for a DIY guy like me. Appreciate all your videos on CX-5 as I owe one myself, year 2013....I'm a keen follower of all your useful tips....thank you❤
A great video Dan. Very helpful thankyou ..... A tip = to drain the reservoir, if you leave the radiator cap on when you remove the cockstop, the system will suck out the fluid in the reservoir while draining. You might need to squeeze the top radiator hose to help the fluid flow.
Good for you! The FL-22 stuff isn't 'cheap,' but using the proper coolant feels good. I often purchase products from my local dealerships, and save one time, have always had a good experience.
Hi , nice works .. but actually what happens at the SC is we did replace the coolant inside the engine so total amount coolant needed to be replace is almost 8 litres... this comment is regarding to all my recently customers showing this video and asking why it should be 8L i hope all of your viewers understand or you can make another content about it ... 👍 keep up your good work ...
Ya i think i have note down in the description as this method is only for basic drain and fill the radiator system and not full flushing whole fluid inside the engine.
it has been collecting dust since 2013 as i drove my other car for the daily , I have not driven it much and yet enjoy this cx 5 . So i though why not do a coolant / radiator maintenance just incase the old one fail and freezed up. But yeah now the car is 10 years and been enjoying it and driving it as my daily car.
Yeah, I did a drain and fill of my transmission at 30K miles for the “Lifetime” (not) trans fluid. New Mazda FZ fluid is sky blue in color, what came out was filthy, brownish stuff, at 30k miles !!! Do not fall for this “Lifetime” or “Sealed” nonsense regarding fluids / lubricants. Changing is simple, and just replace the same amount you take out, plus 2-3 ounces for “stick around” amount on the sides of the catch basin, after measuring. Lifetime means life time of the warranty, for which after they can charge you $6000 for a remanufactured transmission.
Hi Felix Dan, in regards to the bleeding procedure on your Mazda and all Mazda's you state that owners should remove the radiator cap while bleeding the system. But won't coolant splash everywhere and make a mess out of my engine. As well as that, coolant get"s really hot very quickly and running the car for 5 minutes at 2,500 rpm would definitely have it boiling, especially if the fans kick in. I didn't see you doing this in the video.
@@taichihead42 its normal to have some mess spillage while bleeding without the special Tool Spill free radiator filler cup / bucket. Just rinse it off with some water you all good to go. Unless you have the radiator spill free filler tool / bucket then you r save from the spillage mess. 👍🏼
@@GarasiFelixDanIn the past Felix i have changed coolant on other cars and i never left the radiator cap off. It seems like a really dangerous thing to do and once that coolant gets hot it will shoot up out of the radiator and the spray will go every where. Running the engine checking for leaks and topping up the radiator when cold is far more sensible. Who came up with this idea to leave a radiator cap off a hot radiator also that funnel tool seems unnecessary as well. Unless radiators have changed since the 1980's.
For indonesia, you can also use Shell Coolant Longlife Plus 30/70, which comply to JIS K 2234 as genuine mazda coolant (non silicate, non borates, non nitrite, non amines).
Very nice video! For the bleeding part, When you start the car at the end and let it idle... when you turn off the car again, do you re open the radiator cap to let go air bubbles?
Whoah what a helpful video. Thankyou so much. Please making more tutorial video like this. From today i am officially your subscriber 👍🏻 although my car isn’t cx 5, mine is mazda 2 skyactiv 😁
Sometimes the capacities are a bit confusing. Just make sure to check the owners manual as mine states there are slightly different capacities depending on the VIN. Japan or Mexican built makes a difference.
Right i would stock about 7litres of coolant. Some cars uses only 6litres and other may use about 7litres. As you dont want to be short on coolant if you are doing the service at home.
Thank you for the excellent content. Too easy with your complete instructions. Appreciate it. You have noted that this is not a complete coolant flush. What is complete coolant flush??
Thank you again for the support. full coolant flush you have to drain all coolant from the engine block and to do that you have to uninstall the bottom part of the radiator hose .
Hi! Mazda 6 2.5 petrol 2020 Coolant should come back from the overflow reservoir to the radiator when the engine is cold?In my car stay in the reservoir but the level is not higher like max.Is this a symptom of issue or everything is good?
as long as you have max level in your coolant reservoir everything is good. When the engine is warm (when the fans kicks in) the coolant should circulate within the radiator system.
How did u remove pins from the pipe at coolant reservoir? U showed how to clip back on after cleaning it but did now show how to unpin the clip to take out the coolant reservoir
Hi Wilson . This car is 5 years now , so thats why i am replacing the coolant. Radiator flush isn't always necessary unless the coolant are very very dirty and the car is very old .
I refilled it to max level prior starting the vehicle. I used the oem coolant from my local mazda dealer. The colour is green for our cars. I am not sure about red. Please check with your local mazda dealer to confirm.
Very nice video you have there and thank you so much for making a video. :) This will be use on my Mazda CX-5. But I have a question from you. Once everything is all topped up and it’s time to bleed air out from the radiator Cap. Do I have to keep the cap open to let the air bubbles out while I run the engine RPM?
Yes please follow the bleeding procedures. As mentioned on the description below with radiator cap removed. Once it burps completely. You are done :) pls dont forget to subscribe and hit that notif bells for us so you wont miss a latest videos. :) thank you again really appreciated your time tuning in Mr Luigi.
Thanks for another excellent video. I would recommend draining the fluid from the lower radiator hose rather than the petcock, which, with age and heat can become brittle and break, which would not be good. Thanks again.
what is the interval on coolant change? my mazda 3 2015 coolant is still green but near the low level on the expansion tank. not sure if it was changed before as i got the car used.
great informtaion. could you do more explaining with spoken words for the steps? Looks like the car has to be jacked up to drain old coolant. You made it look so simple! My engine is idling very rough and I don't know what is wrong with it. I have only had it for 6 months and think I way overpaid for it.
Hi Felix, want to ask you that is it ok to use other brand of common coolant (APM brand coolant) for Mazda car? as the shop owner use this instead of Mazda FL22 coolant..
@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks for your reply.. as this is the shop owner (specializing in Radiator repair and service) recommend, so I just go with this..
Hi ! I have green colour coolant in Mazda . Now I purchased coolant recommended by Mazda but it’s blue colour. Should I empty green one before putting new blue one , or it’s fine if I left green inside and put blue one on top ? Thank you !
I bled the cooling system with the radiator cap on instead. I realized this mistake a couple days after and then did it again with the cap off. Is it possible that there's air in my system from bleeding it improperly the first time?
yeap definately can re do the service just let the car idle and uncap the cap fill the rad till full and let the car bleed it self until the 2nd fan kicks in then you r done 👍🏼
Hi Felix, greeting from the US my friend - thank you very much for your videos - they have been a great help. This will be my next service to do on the cx-5. I have 75,000 miles (120k km?) and I am not sure if I should do the flush or just the coolant replace like you do. Can you comment? If you think it will be worth doing a flush - can you tell me the extra steps to take? Also if I do a flush will I still need 5L or it will be more?
To fully flush the cooling system , you will need to drain the coolant from the radiator and add flushing chemical diluted with distilled water and keep repeating (draining) until there are no more excess old coolant. Yes you will need more than 5 L of coolant to refill the system.
I noticed you didn't burp your radiator, you put the cap on when starting your engine, if you leave it off it releases the air in the system, which in turn will not let the coolant get to critical parts of your system easily, and may result in the ac not blowing the correct temperature. I could be wrong and maybe you did burp the radiator and just didn't record it
So you pour the same thing in both coolant reservoir and radiator? I thought it should be a specific mix of water/coolant in the radiator and a full coolant in the reservoir? Am I wrong?
This coolant is premixed just have to fill it without adding water. Unless you have the other coolant that needs to be mixed with water please mix it with correct amount level of water.
@@GarasiFelixDanThanks for your quick reaction. this was the first time I tried to change the coolant. It was topped up,no leaking, no problems. As I said, I did exactly what you did and only 3 liters drained out. I even repeated everything twice.with the same result.
Hi dan, i got an oil spot on top of my alternator, i saw its coming from the oil pressure sensor(i think) that sits on top of it. Is it just a simple repair(change of o ring) ? Oh,its a m2 skyactiv.
My coolant is really low. Can i top it off or do i need to flush and put new fluid in? Also I have no idea what brand of coolant is currently in my car, do I have to use the same brand to top if off? Or can i mix brands if it's the same color, i,e green coolant fluid
@@GarasiFelixDan Will do. Thank you. Also, on your throttle body cleaning video, you said torque it back on with 8mm of torque. What would that be in foot to pounds? I've been trying to find the specs, but I can't find it.
@@GarasiFelixDan Thank you very much sir! Is there a website where I can find all the specs for bolts and what not for my Mazda 6? Again, thank you for taking the time to reply.
If you have the burp funnel would be much better so no spillage whatsoever. But if you dont have would be oke just to let the car runs until it burps for 15 mins or so and just top up the coolant once done.
Hi bro, Is this consider a full flush or half flush? If i recall correctly, the engine is build with tunnels which allow the coolent to flow within to cool off the engine. Hence i saw how mechanic used to insert water pipe n flush out dirty coolent. When doing refill, they turn on the engine so as to see if the water pump has pumped all the water which will gone thru the whole engine appropriately then by refilling the reservoir if necessary.
Hi George .This service was to replace the coolant only , not a full flush job as its not needed, the car is still 33000Ks on the clock, if you were to have older car with the coolant that hasn't been replace for its life then you will need to do the full flush job just like you mention above perhaps add a radiator flush chemical to help dissolve the gunk and dirt in the cooling system.
When you drain the coolant via the petcock valve on the radiator does it drain all of the coolant or is there still some coolant left in the engine block? The Mazda service manual recommends flushing the cooling system once the coolant is drained, that's why I'm asking.
@@GarasiFelixDan my car year 2012 has 140k km, is not necessary to replace all the coolant? And is it ok if I put a coolant that is similar specs to the fl22 mazda, ? Thanks
@@GarasiFelixDan its not abs sorry its th e Epb for brake changes, anyway after brake change, it says it on my right screen, my left side where dummy lights come on, there is no lights on, just the 2nd screen on dash thanks man
Malam pak felix, mhn maaf sblm nya kalau mengganggu. Mau tanya lagi pak, apakah mazda skyactiv compatible pakai coolant yg ada di tutorial? Kalau sy cek buku sih minta nya FL22 yg kata ny sih 55% ethylene glycol. Mhn penjelasan dan konsekuensi nya dengan penggunaan selain coolant FL22. Terimakasih
Untuk di video ini sy beli di dealer mazda langsung dan direkomendasi pakai mazda coolant yg ini kata dealer mazda komposisi formulanya hampir sama dengan fl22. Tapi yg sy baca baca dr forum luar spec coolant Fl22 formulanya anti freezenya tahan lebih lama sampai dengan 10 tahun dimana coolant dengan formula biasa hanya tahan sampai 5 tahun. Dan kalau tidak memakai fl22 mungkin hanya harus menggantikan coolantnya lebih awal saja periodenya supaya tidak terjadi penyumbatan / karat pada komponen mesin water pump dan radiator. Tapi untuk mesin skyactiv sangat direkomen untuk menggunakan fl22 dan kalau bisa dapat fl22 di mazda dealer beli aj fl22 ya.
Thanks for the vid! I had been waiting for this, I've had the coolant for 4 months stored away lol, but hey, where is the thermostat, I wanna take a look at it just for safety
You are welcome Juan. Thermostate hidden somewhere in the engine bay . If you follow route of the top part of radiator hose and follow to the engine thats where it sits. If you dont mind dont forget to subscribe ,like and share this channel to your friends it is very much appreciated.
@@ЕвгенийШаталов-в1т yes this video is not about draining the whole cooling system. To fully drain you have to disconnect the lower and upper hose and you can drain the whole from the block. But if you repeat the drain and fill every 2 years your engine should be fine and you are not wasting too much effort on this particular service.
@@ЕвгенийШаталов-в1т Im not ocd about it and at the time its not neccessary to do a complete coolant drain for this video. The car is completely fine until now. Just do a regular drain n fill every 2 years or so. you should be all good to go.
I tried to bleed the system after changing the coolant. When I did, the coolant just started to overflow the radiator cap so I turned the car off... Is this normal?
Yeap its normal. Let it over flow for 10 mins until both fans kicks in. Then after that just top up the coolant until full & dont forget top up the overflow bottle too. Rinse away the spillage with clean water.
Thank you for sharing the step by step. Now I'll be ready to do mine when it's needed. I like how you clean all of the parts that you disassembled to complete this task.

How many km before you chnge the fluid. Mazda said long life coolant can last 100tkm. And do you need to use radiator flush
Hi Wilson . This car is 5 years now , so thats why i am replacing the coolant. Radiator flush isn't always necessary unless the coolant are very very dirty and the car is very old .

so low milage and u have already changed it? Due to workshop manual it is changed after 120 000 km or 10 years

If you r only drain n fill , Get yourself 5 ltrs should be plenty.
@@GarasiFelixDanthank you
Hi ! I have green colour coolant in Mazda . Now I purchased coolant recommended by Mazda but it’s blue colour. Should I empty green one before putting new blue one , or it’s fine if I left green inside and put blue one on top ? Thank you !
I would empty it first.
I bled the cooling system with the radiator cap on instead. I realized this mistake a couple days after and then did it again with the cap off. Is it possible that there's air in my system from bleeding it improperly the first time?
yeap definately can re do the service just let the car idle and uncap the cap fill the rad till full and let the car bleed it self until the 2nd fan kicks in then you r done 👍🏼
Hi Felix, greeting from the US my friend - thank you very much for your videos - they have been a great help. This will be my next service to do on the cx-5. I have 75,000 miles (120k km?) and I am not sure if I should do the flush or just the coolant replace like you do. Can you comment? If you think it will be worth doing a flush - can you tell me the extra steps to take? Also if I do a flush will I still need 5L or it will be more?
To fully flush the cooling system , you will need to drain the coolant from the radiator and add flushing chemical diluted with distilled water and keep repeating (draining) until there are no more excess old coolant. Yes you will need more than 5 L of coolant to refill the system.
I noticed you didn't burp your radiator, you put the cap on when starting your engine, if you leave it off it releases the air in the system, which in turn will not let the coolant get to critical parts of your system easily, and may result in the ac not blowing the correct temperature.
I could be wrong and maybe you did burp the radiator and just didn't record it
dont worry i did just i didnt show the method fully here. My cx 5 is fine ever since done this service 👍🏻
hi what do you need to do to burp the radiator?
@@dmc_77 remove the radiator cap and let it idle for 15 to 20 mins and let it overflow until it stop.
Dont you mix the coolant with water?
@@michaels2747 no never mix with normal tap water. It reduce the coolant mixtures wont be effective for the engines.
So you pour the same thing in both coolant reservoir and radiator? I thought it should be a specific mix of water/coolant in the radiator and a full coolant in the reservoir? Am I wrong?
This coolant is premixed just have to fill it without adding water. Unless you have the other coolant that needs to be mixed with water please mix it with correct amount level of water.
I would also recommend to drain the engine block after you drain the radiator.
I wouldn't say so, in these newer cars it's not necessary to fully drain and in fact can hurt the seals.
@@ZhuSeth what seals
Hi, how remove clips wire harness on minute 9:20? I scare if pull it hard, it will broken
have to use skinny pliers for that one.
Great job
@@cafemolido5459 Cheers my friend .
What a great video!
very much appreciated 🙏🏼
Hi am from Thailand.😄
I used a large small funnel to avoid the mess
what about the coolant still left inside the engine?
It will b left inside the engine. Reminder that this method is not a full flush method.
Do it again after driving 20-30 miles, a bit of a waste, but will pretty much get all old coolant out.
Is there any need to use special equipment to replace the coolant ?
Nope. Just standard hand tools. If you have anti spill funnel its even better.
Always wear gloves and eye protection with coolant, it is toxic
Hi, I have a question .I own a Mazda 3 2014. I followed all your instructions but only 3 liters drain out. Can you tell me why and give me any advice?
it should be more than 3 ltrs… i think before hand you did not top up the radiator coolant to max line everytime it needs topped up. ??
@@GarasiFelixDanThanks for your quick reaction. this was the first time I tried to change the coolant. It was topped up,no leaking, no problems. As I said, I did exactly what you did and only 3 liters drained out. I even repeated everything twice.with the same result.
Question:
Is it necessary to remove the reservoir in order to change the coolant?
Thanks
Yes better to remove the oil coolant from the reservoir. :)
Do you have to fill up the coolant if you have a blue indicator warning? I have a mazda cx3, the coolant level is one inch below to the full level
Top it up.
Blue indicator means engine is cold so dont drive agressive for couple a minutes
Thank you so much for this video.
you r welcome Anusorn
Hi, why cars in your video without license plates?
we do have license plate.
why didn't you replace the thermostat? is it not called for?
nope mine is totally fine.
Vibing to the song hard 😂
🤣😂
Hi dan, i got an oil spot on top of my alternator, i saw its coming from the oil pressure sensor(i think) that sits on top of it. Is it just a simple repair(change of o ring) ? Oh,its a m2 skyactiv.
Check if the o ring washer needs replacing. Or even the oil pressure unit.
Look at the part called the oil control valve. It has a seal which is prone to leaking, and the valve itself can leak.
great video thank you!!
No worries :)
Thank you very much, your video was helpful🙏
@@evansjamal6554 you’re welcome 😁🙏🏼
My coolant is really low. Can i top it off or do i need to flush and put new fluid in? Also I have no idea what brand of coolant is currently in my car, do I have to use the same brand to top if off? Or can i mix brands if it's the same color, i,e green coolant fluid
Get the same brand coolant.
@@GarasiFelixDan Will do. Thank you. Also, on your throttle body cleaning video, you said torque it back on with 8mm of torque. What would that be in foot to pounds? I've been trying to find the specs, but I can't find it.
@@gibsonindistress418 about 6ft pounds. Just about snug.
@@GarasiFelixDan Thank you very much sir! Is there a website where I can find all the specs for bolts and what not for my Mazda 6? Again, thank you for taking the time to reply.
1:19 start (for my own reference)
Can you back flush a heater core on a 2014 Mazda CX 5?
I'll see what i can do for that.
No need for one of those “Burp” Funnels and let run for 20-30 mins to make sure all air is out of the system ?
If you have the burp funnel would be much better so no spillage whatsoever. But if you dont have would be oke just to let the car runs until it burps for 15 mins or so and just top up the coolant once done.
Hi bro, Is this consider a full flush or half flush? If i recall correctly, the engine is build with tunnels which allow the coolent to flow within to cool off the engine. Hence i saw how mechanic used to insert water pipe n flush out dirty coolent. When doing refill, they turn on the engine so as to see if the water pump has pumped all the water which will gone thru the whole engine appropriately then by refilling the reservoir if necessary.
Hi George .This service was to replace the coolant only , not a full flush job as its not needed, the car is still 33000Ks on the clock, if you were to have older car with the coolant that hasn't been replace for its life then you will need to do the full flush job just like you mention above perhaps add a radiator flush chemical to help dissolve the gunk and dirt in the cooling system.
5 litre is enough?.if so ... very good why some.said 7 litre
@@noon9483 Ya 5 ltrs is enough. 🫡
When you drain the coolant via the petcock valve on the radiator does it drain all of the coolant or is there still some coolant left in the engine block?
The Mazda service manual recommends flushing the cooling system once the coolant is drained, that's why I'm asking.
some of left over coolant will be in the engine block. you could flush it if you want :)
@UCoJgjPIuMr0x0YR4yikLwvA
Any idea how much coolant?
@@ceezedgerman should be 4 to 5 ltrs left.
@@GarasiFelixDan
That seems like a lot, more than half the capacity.
How do you get the rest of it out?
@@ceezedgerman to drain the whole coolant you have to disconnect upper hose thermostat and lower hose :)
Is your engine 2.5 liters?
mine is 2.0L
Hi why do u use only 5 litres if my cx5 manual says the capacity are 9 litres aprox???
Yes correct this video just to show how to replace coolant from the radiator not full replacement including the left over from the engine block.
@@GarasiFelixDan my car year 2012 has 140k km, is not necessary to replace all the coolant? And is it ok if I put a coolant that is similar specs to the fl22 mazda, ? Thanks
@@yegago Yeah should be alright changing partial coolant is sufficient for daily car. Yes if can use similar spec to FL22 coolant.
Can I use Prestone?
check their website to confirm. im sure they have something for mazda
Very nice
Thanks
Good vid
cheers 🙏🏼🫰🏼
i need help fixing SBS brake thing and forward facing radar, any ideas
unfortunately you have to take it to Mazda Dealer for ABS problem.
@@GarasiFelixDan its not abs sorry its th e Epb for brake changes, anyway after brake change, it says it on my right screen, my left side where dummy lights come on, there is no lights on, just the 2nd screen on dash thanks man
@@jimsinnovations2737 maybe recheck the brake caliper, bolts and piston and do it all over again see if the light goes away.
@@GarasiFelixDan ty man will try that
Malam pak felix, mhn maaf sblm nya kalau mengganggu.
Mau tanya lagi pak, apakah mazda skyactiv compatible pakai coolant yg ada di tutorial? Kalau sy cek buku sih minta nya FL22 yg kata ny sih 55% ethylene glycol.
Mhn penjelasan dan konsekuensi nya dengan penggunaan selain coolant FL22.
Terimakasih
Untuk di video ini sy beli di dealer mazda langsung dan direkomendasi pakai mazda coolant yg ini kata dealer mazda komposisi formulanya hampir sama dengan fl22. Tapi yg sy baca baca dr forum luar spec coolant Fl22 formulanya anti freezenya tahan lebih lama sampai dengan 10 tahun dimana coolant dengan formula biasa hanya tahan sampai 5 tahun. Dan kalau tidak memakai fl22 mungkin hanya harus menggantikan coolantnya lebih awal saja periodenya supaya tidak terjadi penyumbatan / karat pada komponen mesin water pump dan radiator. Tapi untuk mesin skyactiv sangat direkomen untuk menggunakan fl22 dan kalau bisa dapat fl22 di mazda dealer beli aj fl22 ya.
Thanks for the vid! I had been waiting for this, I've had the coolant for 4 months stored away lol, but hey, where is the thermostat, I wanna take a look at it just for safety
You are welcome Juan. Thermostate hidden somewhere in the engine bay . If you follow route of the top part of radiator hose and follow to the engine thats where it sits. If you dont mind dont forget to subscribe ,like and share this channel to your friends it is very much appreciated.
Very helpful
cheers.
Wait did he spray the blue engine cover?
OEM sir
I can do without the music, good video though.
@@derrick-is-dnice 😁👍🏼
Should flush with distilled water at least 2 rounds with engine running for 3-5 mins before pouring in new coolant.
Definately can do that for the next service.
Mas kalau pakai coolant anti frezee amsoil bisa cocok gak ya buat mesin Mazda 2 sky di Indonesia?
kalo speksifikasinya mirip sperti mazda punya seharusnya tidak ada masalah.
How many litres of coolant required?. 7L?
I have used approximately 4.7 litres in this video. As it is not a full flush service.
Anyone on the comments can tell what year model is this cx5? (My cx5 is 2015 and it doesn't have this blue covering, just black)
Year 2012 - 2014 with 2.0ltr skyactiv has blue. Other than that with 2.5ltr skyactiv has black .
What about bleeding no need?
Bleeding procedure is neccessary. Please follow the direction in the description box. Thank you
Охлаждающую жидкость слили только с радиатора и расширительного бака, порядка 2,5 литра старой жидкости осталось в отопителе и патрубках системы.
it should be more than 2.5L comes out from the system.
@@GarasiFelixDan Вся система вмещает порядка 7L, вы слили только около 4L
@@ЕвгенийШаталов-в1т yes this video is not about draining the whole cooling system. To fully drain you have to disconnect the lower and upper hose and you can drain the whole from the block. But if you repeat the drain and fill every 2 years your engine should be fine and you are not wasting too much effort on this particular service.
Зачем мешать старую и новую жидкости? Не так сложно слить максимально все.
@@ЕвгенийШаталов-в1т Im not ocd about it and at the time its not neccessary to do a complete coolant drain for this video. The car is completely fine until now. Just do a regular drain n fill every 2 years or so. you should be all good to go.
thanks
No problem
I tried to bleed the system after changing the coolant. When I did, the coolant just started to overflow the radiator cap so I turned the car off... Is this normal?
Yeap its normal. Let it over flow for 10 mins until both fans kicks in. Then after that just top up the coolant until full & dont forget top up the overflow bottle too. Rinse away the spillage with clean water.
ok
yes thank you
no se debe purgar ???
i let the system burp after topping up.
