Antifreeze VALVOLINE or OEM Mazda

I recently changed the coolant in my 2020 CX-5 with genuine Mazda prediluted FL22. The reason I change the coolant is corrosion protection. The corrosion inhibitors in coolant deplete with both time and mileage. Many aftermarket coolants may not be formulated with the identical corrosion protection chemical strategy found in the Mazda FL22 coolant. Using an aftermarket coolant is a risk I am not willing to take. My cooling system remains safe from corrosion. Using my schedule I will not have coolant and internal corrosion issues for as long as I own my car. Peace of mind is worth it to me.

Zerex G40 is pretty good. Made by Valvoline and has G12++ spec.

I went with Valvoline Xerex G40. BASF G40 is the equivalent of G12++. Valvoline/ZEREX G40 Euro Pink coolant meets this newest worldwide standard BASF G40 and German standard VW G12++ .

Brands I recommend are of course Toyota OEM Super Long Life coolant and surprisingly Walmart Asian Red Super Long Life coolant (actually comes out pink ) has never failed me and I offer that as an option to my customers. Then there is the Valvoline zerex Asian I don\u2019t highly recommend this coolant but it does work just not that well from my experience.

I have two gallons of this I've used in my 2009 B6 Passat that is leaking coolant. I don't drive it much, just once in a while. I just don't have the funds to fix the leak, which is likely the water pump. This coolant works just fine for me!

Last time I priced FL 22 at the Mazda dealer it was about the same as AutoZone I was surprised I thought it would be considerably more.

I run it in my 2010 Tundra. after much research and not wanting to spend the $$ on overpriced toyota branded coolant I swapped out the system when I hit 100k (Valvoline asian). That was maybe two years ago. 30k miles later no issues.

There's Zerex (Valvoline) Asian car coolant (prediluted) that's made in 2 colors, blue and red, and it's supposed to be compatible

Call Valvoline (Zerex), which makes both green and Asian coolants. Most likely the green you bought is not like the green sold 20 years ago.

From the manual: "The manufacturer recommends using MOPAR Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent." Remember that the Routans are really Chryslers in disguise, so no need to go exotic brands on fluids. So you can try this: Valvoline Zerex ZXGO51 G-05 Antifreeze.
