8 years later and this video is still helping people. Thank you!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

I really appreciate your comment. Thank you and my deep bow to you.

[@PiscesHaze]

Sir, I know you made this video 11 years ago but you literally helped me in December 2024-since my dad is in another state I had no idea what I was doing! Thank you for walking me through it 💛

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad I could help

[@QuadBloody]

Have watched some of your videos and they have been helpful for my new mazda 6 2015. Very specific steps are helpful! Thanks! Hope you make more!

[@CaboWabotv]

you need to use FL22 coolant. Also you used concentrate. That needs to be mixed 50/50 with water first

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Many Thanks ! 👍👍👍👍

[@onixtheone]

Coolant also damages paint and plastics so be careful

[@Leon802]

Спасибо! Очень понятно объяснил.

THANK YOU PETER!!!! very informative!!!!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

richw7 Thank You for feedback.

[@Riddick-jn8sj]

I just happen to own 2nd mazda cx5. And knowing from the experience, and also forums coolant level at the cold engine should be just above minimum and whe engine gets hot it should rech maximum mark. Please correct me if i am wrong.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@jondiyolahe]

Thanks

[@jbush7]

It needs to be special FL-22. Kiss now goodbye scheduled exchange at 10 years or 100,000 miles. You now need to change it in 2 years.

Thank you, it turns out simply destabilized. I was afraid it was carved.

[@WooshaBaloo]

Brilliant. Thank you.

You're very welcome!

[@muzamwanza325]

Do you need to add water to the coolant concentrate?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, 50%

[@TheRedsox2012]

My coolant level is very low. Can I just add more coolant or do I need to flush ?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Add more. Good comment and Let's All folk discuss more 👍😀

[@MandeepSingh-fw9vd]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor hi ! I had green coolant in Mazda now I bought coolant which have blue colour recommended by Mazda. Should I fill new on top of old one ? Because both have different colours .

[@darkglass5463]

@@MandeepSingh-fw9vd Stick with green fl22 type.

[@Blueberry_]

Thx brooo

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Any time

[@mrahman1407]

How often you should top up?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Within every month

[@mrahman1407]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor. I think that is a lot of top up. It should be at least every few years or longer. The fluid meant to last a while? Unless, a leak somewhere. Some research say when engine is cold it is on L and when engine is warm it rises to F slightly?

[@KingDevoneoGotBeats]

Thank you bro

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Welcome

[@pisodemarcia]

ok, so I just drove my car a couple miles and the coolant light is blue. but my coolant fluid level is low and need to pour more coolant. how do I know my car is cold enough for me to open the cap??!!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Wait 2 hours.

[@alvinmatthew9080]

@@pisodemarcia also check your thermostat could have been going if it was still on

[@kampungsimee1165]

Is it normal the whole coolant reservoir and radiator to shake?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@ayoonasanya3957]

So the level should be on F (full) when the engine is cold?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@ayoonasanya3957]

Peter Finn the Car Doctor oh I read and heard elsewhere that it should be on the low line when the car is cold and as it warmed up it would rise

[@airbound9320]

Can I mix the f22 with a non f22 coolant?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@CaboWabotv]

no

[@АндрійМукан-в3ы]

Can I add G11 HEPU for Mazda 6 2017 instead of FL22 ? Thank you in advance for the answer

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@alex6439]

Don’t you have to flush the old coolant?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, flush

Hi. I have a 2015 Mazda 3 GT 2.5 litre. I need to add some coolant but the cap says FL-22. I tried looking into what brand to buy but having trouble finding the coolant. Any suggestions on what type to buy ? Thank you

***** Thank You for your comment.

Please remove this video before you cost mazda owners their engines. You dont put coolant in rhe overflow box where youre doing it. You must put coolant in the pressurized tube to the left of that box. If that tube is empty you will ruin the engine and may even go into limp mode. Topping up the plastic box which you are doing is no good at all

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks ! 👍

[@1969TheSaint]

This video is all wrong im afraid...you dont put coolant in the boxy bit you put directly into the tube on the left of it...the plastic box bit is the overflow

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]
