Hey, just an FYI that I managed to find FL22 coolant sold at the Port Moody Mazda. It's quite tough to find. Another Mazda didn't even know it exists! Mixing non-FL22 coolant to your late model rx-8 will cause the original FL22 to lose its capabilities. See manual.

 

care to explain what fl22 coolant is?

 

Look up coolant in your manual. I believe around 05 or 06, Mazda started using these extended life FL22 coolant for their rx-8 and mx-5. alot of local dealerships in north america still carries the regular stuff. But they are not FL22. If they "kind heartedly" added these infidel coolants to the fl22, its extended life properties will be lost. FL22 is rated to last 120mths.
I bought a 4L yesterday to keep it topped up to avoid any "kind hearted" technician adding el cheapo off-the shelf stuff.

 

Ahhh...gotcha...

would you really not change the coolant for the entire life of the car?

sounds sorta like the "oil change free" oil that bmw use...

 

hmmm i went to mazda and they had this gold stuff coolant the mechanic said that this is what they use for all their mazda cars ..........btw i also hear bubbles in my heat core so someone said that running ur car with the reservoir cap of and heater on full will remove the bubbles...



btw where did u get ur fl22 stuff what store of web site??
