Mga sir every when ba kaylagan langyan ng coolant ang Mazda3?

[tibo_3rd]

pasintabi lang po, with regards to flushing the system before changing the coolant, where can i have the radiator and engine flushed? i had my old lancer box type cleaned at a shop with a lav'ra'mon flushing system in pasay years back. meron pa ba nun ngayon?

thanks.

[speedyfix]

normally every 40k kms. it should be in the handbook that came with the car.

[yudyin]

ngayon lang po ako maglalagay ng coolant. pano po ba siya ilagay? i have a 97 cefiro btw

tia

[speedyfix]

depends on the type of coolant. if you're not sure it might be best to have someone do it for you

[Deicats]

Boss ang ibig ba sabhn ng 50-50 mix is depende sa tanke? If ang radiator ko may capacity of 4.5 liters meaning ba 50% nyan distilled at 50% coolant. And sa reservoir din ba pure coolant lang o mix din

[Deicats]

Meaning po ba if ang my radiator has 4 liters capacity tag 2 liters sila. And ang reservoir din?

yespo.
you can do the mixing yourself.
or you can use the pre-mixed formulation, and just pour it in.

Hi mga tsikots,

I did some back reading but i didnt get a clear answer of my question or maybe hindi ko lng nakita ang tamang post.

My car's coolant is color orange (dont know what brand) and is running low na.

So is it okay to mix any brands as long as it is still the same color?

Salamat po.

The color is just a dye. Any coolant will do.
Safest answer is go to casa and buy a coolant specific to that model.
However, some coolants are rated long life some are standard.

Coolant color represents a certain formulation. You can mix coolants with different brands, but it has to be the same color.

In my limited experience/knowledge:

Color of orange(?)/pink(?) is Toyota bro... Better to use coolant with the same color, or buy it from the car dealer....

Green is Honda;- think other Hondas are using blue.

Blue is Mitsubishi/Hyundai/Subaru...

Where does Prestone's neon green/yellow go with?

The color signifies the ingredients used to formulate it. It does not necessarily mean that like-colored coolants from different manufacturers can be mixed.

Well, maybe they can. But if you want to be absolutely sure that it's going to be compatible, use whatever is recommended in the manual.

Do note that the cooling system is one big electrolysis machine and the coolant stays there for years on end. As it is, the environment is ripe for chemical reactions to happen. It's only the chemical make-up of the coolant that's stopping that. However, using the incorrect coolant may cause chemical imbalances that can induce corrosion.

^ Totally agree! Besides you change your coolant every 4-5 years, so why skimp?

[BlancNoir]

You can mix prestone with any color of coolant.

Been doing this for years now and so far so good.

^ Honda Type 2 Long Life Coolant is blue and it's not listed. At the very least, that chart is probably outdated.

This pretty much sums up what my point was. You can probably mix certain types together with little to no cause for concern but doing so will entail varying degrees of guesswork. You can go through that trouble or you can just pop into your car dealer and buy a jug of OEM coolant specifically for your vehicle and let that be the end of it.
