4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and

reinsert it fully.

MAX

MIN

5. Pull it out again and examine the level.

The level is normal if it is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
If it is near or below MIN, add enough
oil to bring the level to MAX.

CAUTION

Do not overfill the engine oil. This may
cause engine damage.

6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is

positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.

7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.

Engine Coolant

▼

Inspecting Coolant Level

WARNING

Do not use a match or live flame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:

A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has
been running, parts of the engine
compartment can become very hot. You
could be burned. Carefully inspect the
engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but
do not open it.

Pull over to a safe location, then switch

the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.

Do not remove either cooling

system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:

When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.

Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

6-22

NOTE

Changing the coolant should be done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year

―

at the beginning of the

winter season

―

and before traveling where

temperatures may drop below freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L marks on
the coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.

SKYACTIV-G 2.5

SKYACTIV-G 2.5T

If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir tank
cap after adding coolant.

CAUTION



Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.



If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near
the cooling system cap, use of FL-22 is
recommended when replacing engine
coolant. Using engine coolant other than
FL-22 may cause serious damage to the
engine and cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Brake Fluid

▼

Inspecting Brake Fluid Level

WARNING

If the brake fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:

A low brake fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining wear
or a brake system leak which could cause
the brakes to fail and lead to an accident.

Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If it
is excessively low, have the brake system
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Washer Fluid

▼

Inspecting Washer Fluid Level

WARNING

Use only windshield washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:

Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windshield, it
will dirty the windshield, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.

Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:

Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fluid
without anti-freeze protection is dangerous
as it could cause impaired windshield
vision and result in an accident. In cold
weather, always use washer fluid with
anti-freeze protection.

NOTE

State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as
anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all regions and
climates in which the vehicle will be
operated.

Add washer fluid under any of the
following conditions.



The top of the fluid level is low.



The Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Indication/Warning Light (if equipped)
turns on.

Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

6-24



The top of the fluid level is lower than L
(if equipped).

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.

NOTE

Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.

Body Lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Wiper Blades

CAUTION



Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.



To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.



When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:



If the windshield above the rain sensor
is touched.



If the windshield above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.



If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.



If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.

Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.

Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
