Spoke to mazda today they said coolant to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 km
I bought 2 liters of mazdas coolant at $24.00 per litre and getting coolant reflashed by my mechanic.
Most likely i could have bought the same coolant at a cheaper price but i dont want them to come back at me that a wrong coolant was used just in case i have an upcoming warranty issue
