this is a stupid question, can I ask what kind of coolant do you guys put for your FC? link and name will be great. I need some answer before I mess up my car with the wrong coolant. thanks all

 

GREEN

/thread

 

green the color of the coolant and what type though

 

doesnt matter just not the orange stuff. lol

 

i prefer the black 90 weight coolant personally

 

Coolant is coolant. Better yet just put water in.

 

Antifreeze mixed with distilled water (I use Prestone). You don't want crap to build up inside your radiator if you can help it. Apparently it's best to use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, because although using something like...say...80% water and 20% antifreeze would help with cooling (since water more readily absorbs heat), I heard over time it becomes acidic and corrodes the inside of your radiator.

 

Go 50/50 water and Prestone.

 

dont use yellow coolant its fords version of coolant so i guess even though mazda is a ford company it wont be good me personally in summer i use straight distilled water

 

Ethylene glycol, green. Available at any auto part store. Brand is irrelevant.

This info is in the FSM, Haynes, owners manual, etc.

 

Thanks =)

 

actually, putting in the wrong coolant creates a .2v electric charge that can deteriorate aluminum parts via acidic electrolisis. also, yes, crap can form up in the radiator and make it impossible to burp the radiator and always cause the add coolant light (and absurdly annoying buzzer) to come on.
ask me how i know..................

peace

 

Yes! Use distilled water!

No, see the manual for the correct mix for your particular climate.

Your above statement could cause over $2,000 of damage to the engine of anybody unfortunate enough to listen to your asinine advice.

 

Prestone 50/50.......................

 

If you dare put the ORANGE stuff in your car, your coolant system is dead.
Green + green = More green!
Orange + orange = More Orange!
Green + orange = You have produced a gel in your system that can not be removed without a teardown.

 

f you were to use dexcool you would burn up your waterpump seal

 

i use 50/50 mixture of a brand called PEAK, never had problems using that.
