DIY- How to: Remove & Install Thermostat + Coolant Remove + Replace and Throttle Body cleaning on 2.5L 4-cylinder engine 2014 to 2020 Mazda 6, 3, CX-5
FOR 2.0 (per 'ski e', a viewer):
Its basically the same on the 2.0 L, 2.5 is literally just upscaled version of the 2.0 engine. The only thing that appears different is some hoses and wire routes because of the larger size in the engine bay. Positions on the engine and battery removal are the same
Mazda part number use:
-Thermostat PE01-15-171
-Mazda Coolant, 2 gallons -- FL22 0000-77-508F-20 (you will use about 1.5 gallons)
you can use after market parts for the thermostat, but make sure about the fitment: amzn.to/3uIynB9
throttle body cleaner: amzn.to/3jGXQVq
Are you replacing the water pump or have over 100,000 miles on the car? It might be high time to replace the thermostat.
In the process of getting to the Thermostat, we will be removing the battery & tray, air box…might as well do the following additional things: clean up the battery and battery tray, air box, throttle body and drain & refill the coolant.
This applies to 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which can be found in 2014 to 2020 Mazda 6, 3, CX-5.
In this video, I’ll show you how to:
-remove and replace the Thermostat
-clean up the battery and the tray,
-clean the air box and
-clean the throttle body and
-drain the coolant from radiator & replace it with new coolant
All parts used are Mazda OEM parts.
When the draining the radiator, most of the coolant is removed except for what is in the engine/block. Since, not all the coolant is removed, we do not want to mix other brand coolant with Mazda coolant, so the system will be refilled with Mazda Coolant. The cost is the same, not worth the $10-$15 saving to risk other engine/gasket problems
In order to drain the coolant from the car, the driver side front end does need to be lifted a bit higher to be able to place a drain pan and access the drain plug on the radiator. For this, you only need to lift the car like 6” or so, and your body (head or shoulder) does not need to go under the car….IF you plan on going under the car, the car should be jacked up, and jack stands placed under the car so that it is safe for you to go under the car.
The following link shows how to jack up the car and position jack stands under the vehicle to supported it safely:

I appreciate the video. Buying the parts and following your instructions saved us about $700 from letting a mechanic do it. Thank you

Thank you for this tutorial. I just replaced thermostat, radiator and two big cooling hoses in 2017 CX-5.

Notice how good these engines are. That old thermostat with 150k looked clean as hell. These are great little engines. My 2014 3 has 189k and still runs flawless with almost 40 mpg highway at 72 mph. Love these whips.

@footprintsinconc 7 ай бұрын

Nice! I only get 25 to 27 mpg. Maybe the 3 is a lot lighter so the mpg is that high?

had overheating problems suspected the thermostat but car was towed to the dealer and wow do they soak you on this repair. I've done it many times on many different vehicles and its very easy repair. Garage is $350 at the dealership, just like the ridiculous $350 they quoted me to change spark plugs

Really appreciate you doing this videos, well explain and no so much moving and shaking of camera. Thanks sincerely I’m wondering is it’s completely necessary to remove the computer and all of the other components. In California you have to wait days for computer to register the smog parameters and won’t pass smog check.

Thank you! Yes it has to come off because the bracket that the it sits in is connected to the battery tray which has to get out of the way to access the thermostat housing

Do you have to drain the coolant in order to replace the thermostat? I ask because i just replaced mine two months ago, feels like a waste

@footprintsinconc 9 ай бұрын

you don't. you'll just loose some liquid when you remove the thermostat. i would clean the under carriage at the radiator, put a CLEAN bucket under the radiator, drain the radiator into bucket to reuse the coolant. with the system drained, remove thermostat for minimal coolant loss, and then once everything is back together, reuse the drained coolant.
