Hello all!
So winter is coming - well not really, is it still fall here but temperatures are getting low and one must be ready. I have some questions about that, mainly about the coolant liquid.
As it is stated in the owners manual, it has to be green and it has to conform with the L250 specification. I have called local car supplies dealer and he told me, that he has "green stuff", it is rather cheap but he did not specify the L250 support, also worked at the *sorry* *Mazda* service told me that this is not an issue - if it is green it is OK. Now I ask - is that true? Because then I myself can go and buy that liquid and add it. Also there is question about the mixture...I do not know how to drain that liquid or if I even should - should I just add it to the max? How much should I buy and add? I am practically on min or rather below min...I must point out that in the summer I have added some liter or two liters of standard water from the pipe...have I made terrible mistake?
Another question is the motor oil and yes, we have debated this to teh death but I will make a quick one - in the OM it is suggested to use 5W-30 - but the sticker that says what oil has been used in the motor says 10W-40. Also he blend of oil is local choice, don't know what make it is but now I am trying to switch to MO suggested make nad specification. I am thinking this - sorry the page is in Slovenian language but the image of the oil is very clear: https://www.euroton.si/avtodeli/mobil-super-3000xe-5w30-5l-motorno-olje-p-216990.aspx any thoughts? it this OK?
Thank you in advance for help any any information!
best regards!
