You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2023 Mazda CX-9 is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Mazda recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
