How to Replace Antifreeze

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Antifreeze coolant

Replacing the coolant is necessary and should be done regularly. It is especially important in winter when temperatures drop. First, disconnect the upper hose from the coolant header tank. Then, start the car and top up until the liquid flows out. This topping up process should be done after bleeding the engine and disconnecting the battery for safety. Once the tank is replaced and the hose reattached, remove the caps near the headlamp and the battery, then start the engine. This will allow the vehicle to warm up. Wait for the thermostat to activate and circulate the water.
