This chapter deals with the normal maintenance necessary to keep the Mazda running properly. It includes summaries of service intervals and procedures in table form. Table 1 covers 1971-73 cars; Table 2 covers 1974's. The recommended service schedules list checks which are easily performed at each stop for gas, and those which are done at specified intervals of miles or time. The last part of the chapter contains a tune-up procedure which simplifies and organizes the process.
ROUTINE CHECKS
The following should he done at each stop for gas.
1. Check engine oil level on the dipstick (Figure 1). Top up to the F mark if necessary, using a grade recommended in Table 3.
2. Check coolant level. The radiator should be full and the expansion tank half full.
NOTE: The coolant level should be checked when the engine is cold. If this isn't possible, put a rag over the radiator or expansion tank cap when removing to prevent burns.
3. Check the level of the windshield washer tank. It should be kept full.
4. Check sub-zero starting assist fluid (if so equipped). The tank is located above the steering gear box (Figure 2). If necessary, top up with a mixture of 90 per cent ethylene glycol-based anti-freeze and 10 per cent water. Make sure the hose inside the tank is submerged in the fluid. NOTE: // the tank is allowed to become empty, take the car to a dealer for refilling and pump priming.
