Oil Cooler Flushing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris cannot be removed or the problem becomes even worse.
NOTE:
- The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed completely when ATX is overhauled or replaced.
- Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles flow out from the feed pipe side of ATX.
