Thanks for watching! Yes, I agree that maintenance is a very important part of car ownership. Especially older vehicles like these.

Old Fords Don't die thanks for sharing. The type that I keep hearing that you should never use is dex cool - unless you have a car designed to use it.

@@BecauseMiata Dexcool is similar to Volkseagen G12, both have the same problem that when mixed with traditional green coolant it turns into sludge, VW updated their coolants so it would not do that when mixed but GM did not.

Hi there. You can use either one. From what I've seen, the pre-mixed 50/50 costs more per volume of coolant. So if you buy a gallon jug of 100%, and a gallon jug of 50/50...you can make the 100% last longer because you can now make 2 gallons of 50/50 with it. Make sense? The bottom line is that you can use either one. The premixed one costs more though.

The coolant is holding up great! No issues to report, and no overheating.

Thanks for the question. To the best of my understanding, the Asian formula of antifreeze use phosphates to protect against corrosion and pitting of the water pump impeller. Other types of coolants use silicates which can cause the small pitting inside the pump - mostly on the impeller. A lot of coolants are color-coded...some blue, some green, some red. From the factory, the Miata coolant is green...it matches the Asian formula that I used. If you're in doubt, it doesn't hurt to call your local Mazda dealer/service shop to ask for their recommendation.

Sheep Dog69 to be honest, I’m not sure what the chemical differences are between the two, but mine is the Pentofrost A2 (Green), and it specifically says on the front that it’s for 1990 and up Mazda.

@@BecauseMiata I think i'm gonna take it back tomorrow and exchange it for the A2, I just got my miata 2 days ago, it's a super clean 2000 1.8L with a soft top and the torsen LSD, its only got 120k miles on it and it was a one owner vehicle, the guy who sold it was 75. i noticed the overflow was totally empty so i wanted to just do a coolant flush and refill it just to make sure nothing everythings good, because once i noticed that was empty i looked in the radiator and it was so clear i'm almost positive it was just water lol.. so far i'm loving this car you can turn so sharp and fast its awesome, its not screaming fast, but this little car can scoot haha.

Sheep Dog69 sounds like you got a great deal; congrats. You’re doing the right thing by taking care of maintenance first. Oil change would be next and inspect the air filter. Later on you can change the fuel filter. Any idea how old the timing belt is? If it’s the original, it should be changed as well. Have fun! 😎

David Yeritsyan Thanks for watching. I used the garden hose to use pressure to loosen up any sediment inside before I did the chemical flush. The final flushes were all distilled water, as seen at 13:58 of this video. But you’re right, all distilled water would be ideal. The tap water didn’t sit in the engine long enough to form deposits of sediment, so I’m confident that the chemical flush did its job and removed the hard water. Good observation though, and thanks again for watching!

For fucks sake it's a 20 year old car. You could run it on brake fluid if you ran out of gas.

you can also use water that's been through reverse osmosis, or what i use because i have access because i work at a chemical plant, "DeIonized water"

What's up man?

idek why but was it good?
