Coolant light on startup
 
Hi Guys,

Just this few days, the warning light (Coliseum in Rome lookalike) will come up whenever i start my car. After a few minutes of warming the car. It disappears.

Just changed my coolant bottle less than a year ago.
Please advise if that is anything to watch out for.
Just alittle worried on why the light comes ON and OFF.

What sort of coolant should i topup with? if my coolant level is alittle low.
Currently its the green FL22 from MAzda in it.

Sensor is screwed up.

Common problem. Ignore light, just make sure to check coolant level when you do oil changes.

It will probably start staying on for longer periods of time and eventually stay on permanently. It's a pain.

Bad sensor. Unplug the wire attached to the coolant bottle and the light will stop coming on.

FL22 should be mixed with more FL22. You don't mix water into it.
