How much coolant does a 1992 Miata take?
The 1992 Workshop Manual states that the cooling capacity is 6.3 Us Quarts.
Where does the coolant flow from on a Miata?
To check, remove the rubber bypass hose from the the thermostat housing to the water pump inlet. It runs almost vertically from the housing to the inlet. Coolant should flow freely from the barb on the water pump inlet once the hose is removed.
What is the boiling point of water in a Miata?
The boiling point of water at 14.7 psia is 212¡F, and if the pressure is increased, it rises. The pressure in the Miata cooling system should be between 11 and 15 psi (25.7 to 29.7 psia) maximum, which would place the boiling point of a 50/50 coolant mixture at around 265¡F (at 15 psi) according to the Prestone labels.
Where does the cooling needle go on a Miata?
It’s just that between 180°-210°F, it will stick to that 11AM position. If you ever climb over 210°F, you will notice the needle will climb up slowly. At about 210°-220°F, it will sit at the 12 oclock position. At 230°F, you can see the gauge start to move to the 1/2 oclock position.
What should the temperature be on a Miata?
At about 210°-220°F, it will sit at the 12 oclock position. At 230°F, you can see the gauge start to move to the 1/2 oclock position. Many here will probably never see it move, but if it does, be sure you stop and cool the car.

What should I do if my Mazda Miata makes a noise?
Newer Mazda pads have reduced this problem. Look at the color of your pads, green are older and blue are newer (both have the same part number so ordering new pads is not easy). A4: We usually put high temperature anti-seize on the back of the pad.
