hose size?
i need to replace the hose in my 1991 gxl that runs from below the oil filter into the firewall, i was wondering what size it was. i havent taken it off yet because i dont want to lose all of the coolant
EDIT: Do i need this hose? or can i cap it off

Yes, if you cap it, you lose your heater function.
You can't use regular 5/8" hose, cause of all the bends.
You really need to just drop the $30 and get the Mazda OEM hose to replace it.

i used a normal 5/8ths hose, i just bent the copper fitting on the fire wall towards the driverd side, emergency fix. still works to this day, also if you just plug that one side wouldnt your coolant stop flowing.
