Checking the coolant level (Mazda Familia BG)

The coolant level should be checked at regular intervals - approximately every 4 weeks, and before each major trip. For topping up, even in warm weather, use only a mixture of antifreeze concentrate and clean, lime-free water.

Attention! To continue the trip, especially in summer, you can add clean water. However, the concentration of antifreeze should be normalized as soon as possible.

The coolant level on a cold engine (coolant temperature +20°C) should be between the FULL and LOW (F and L) marks.

1. Add coolant before the coolant level reaches the LOW mark when the engine is cold.

2. Add cold coolant only when the engine is cold to avoid engine damage.

Attention! Open the cap only on the expansion tank, never open the radiator cap on a hot engine. When opening, put a rag on the radiator cap.

3. Perform a visual leak check if the coolant level drops in a short time.
