what engine coolant is best recommended for the 3?

FullStop · Postby **FullStop** » March 25th, 2010, 7:17 am

aluminum head and block means that you should use silicate free coolant, the red kind, havoline has a 5 year coolant...think its orange tho, once its silicate free

kriticalkase · Postby **kriticalkase** » March 25th, 2010, 7:54 pm

thanks for the info. By chance do you know if the Shell coolant is safe?

call select auto in cunupia there have a lot of Mazda spare parts if not check the company should be small money
if you are overheating sometimes the thermostat sticks so just replace or remove it

btw still looking for mazda 3 ac compressor 1.6L singapore

kriticalkase · Postby **kriticalkase** » April 7th, 2010, 12:45 pm

actually the mazda 3 is not overheating.
the car has reached 100,000kms and since the coolant is going to be changed was wondering to to changed the thermostat same time.
Really dont want to wait till it stick on me.

SS as usual do not have the part.

So i recently saw that angrytuner asked about removing the catalytic converter on the mazda 3...
Does anyone think its possible to do this without throwing a CEL?

I expecting my coilovers in July and i wanna do some other small mods to extract as much power from this lil engine, thinkin about going DEX with it.

all i have right now is a short ram intake, want to do exhaust, may look into doing some custom headers as well, any recommendations for CAT removal or other mods? thanks
