Default Coolant & Fluids for Mazda 3 / CX-5

Does anyone know if FL-22 is the correct coolant for a 2012 Mazda 3 sedan and for a 2014 CX-5 AWD? Also wondering what the correct Mazda P/N is.

I found this at Amazon and this doesn’t look correct:

Genuine Mazda Fluid (0000-77-507E-03) Gold Premium Coola... https://a.co/d/bPsQWNO

Also trying to figure out the automatic transmission fluid and brake fluid for both. Figured I’d keep them maintained.

Same coolant for both vehicles, (10yrs / 120,000 miles lifespan ) Mazda FL22 Coolant 5 Litre K018-W0-122L5 Long Life Green Coolant

ATF for 2012 is Castrol Transmaxx Multivehicle. 2014 is genuine Mazda ATF-FZ

Dot3 or Dot4 brake fluid for both.

Is that coolant p/n from Australia? I tried to look it up and am guided to Australian sites. I have gotten feedback that 0000-77-508E-20 is the right stuff? Could you also let me know how much is needed for the 2012 3 and 2014 CX-5?

Thank you for the information on the ATF. How much is needed for those?

Appreciate your help!!!

FL22 was Australian.

0000-77-508E-20 looks like the right stuff.

Workshop manuals says to fully flush the entire cooling system with water, drain it out, then top up with FL22, so 1 gallon would be right per vehicle.

Depending on weather you plan to drain & refill or flush the transmission will determine how much ATF you need. Drain & refill would need about a gallon per trans.
