When to Service Your 2014 Mazda CX-5 Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Mazda CX-5 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2014 Mazda CX-5 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Mazda recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
