vs
Antifreeze PEAK or OEM Mazda
As you can see, straight from the jug, the Mazda coolant is resisting both corrosion and freezing better than the Motomaster.
Pros: resisting corrosion and freezing
Vehicle:
Mazda
I use peak violet european formula in my mk8 R.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'd say to change out the coolant, and transmission fluid. DO NOT GET A TRANSMISSION FLUSH!!! Just get a place to change out the transmission filter, and top off the transmission fluid.
Cons: DO NOT FLUSH
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I use Peak, and I think they recommend the violet stuff.
Pros: recommends the violet stuff
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Yes I had low coolant in my brand new CX-30 and had to top it off 2-3 times with the FL22 fluid (factory OEM). I think some air is left in the system that gets out over time. Since then no issue with the coolant level
Pros: no issue since
Cons: low coolant initially
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 94000 km
Part number: FL 22
I had my AC condenser replaced and looked at it in the parking lot and confirmed it was full of coolant, drove home, and it was low. I ordered and added some OEM coolant at home. It's been fine ever since
Pros: fine ever since
Cons: coolant was low
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 57900 km
I just use peak pink made for Alfa Romeo and European vehicles overall and it works fine!
Pros: works fine, suitable for Alfa Romeo
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
This is normal. Mazda master tech. I work on these everyday. Every oil change they need to be topped off. The coolant evaporates from the bottle pretty quick.
Pros: coolant evaporates quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I've used the PEAK Asian pink coolant in my Camry in a pinch, but OEM is worth it. (For my 2013 prius and 2014 camry, they use the pink colored fluid)
Pros: works in a pinch
Cons: OEM is better
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I paid for a coolant flush and the mechanic put back in peak 50/50. The orange kind not the gold. At least its not mixing with the HOAT but im pissed
Cons: Wrong type of coolant
