Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

When Does My 2023 Mazda CX-5 Radiator Need Service?

It can be tough to know when to have your Mazda CX-5 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. 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 2023 Mazda CX-5 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Mazda recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
