NAPA is around the corner for me. Was $12.99 (13.99?) Each when I bought it. If they have to order it comes within a day. Saves me $15 bucks over Ford/Mazda. Or I get 2 for the cost of 1 Motor craft.

I did a full drain and flush, used 2 gallons.

Okay well after driving the car around and breaking it in the cel light came on bad 02 sensor. I must have touched it accidentally. But my question is now the car is getting bad mpg like 20-22mpg it used to get 28 easy. What could cause this?? Thanks guys

If you guys need the Motorcraft Specialty Green (FL-22) and live in Georgia go to Parts Authority. They have a few locations throughout the state.

good day everyone, I've searched to death but couldn't find an definitive answer, I have a 07 speed 3 since brand new, and now I'm thinking about changing the factory filled coolant, the question is what type of coolant was used at the factory line??? I've checked the cap and the reservoir and no where does it indicate "FL22" anywhere.... i've read the owner's manual, the mazda shop manual, also called the dealer... even pulled up Mazda service bulletin 01-033/07( which doesn't apply to Canada).....nobody could give me an answer. Finally I called Mazda Canada this morning and the rep spoke to a "Mazda Engineer", and according to the engineer, he has confirmed that during 06-07 there were both type coolant used, however if there were no sticker indicating the use of "FL22" or the cap doesn't indicate"FL 22", than back in Japan it was factory filled with regular coolant.....I thought I will share this for folks in Canada, also if anyone could please confirm if the "Mazda Engineer" did not BS me....

I had the same issue. couldn't seem to find the right coolant for my speed 3. the cap says "FL22" though.. I couldn't find any FL22 anywhere and ended up using regular green coolant, and haven't had any problems.
