To change the coolant on a 2004 Mazda Tribute, first ensure the engine is cool, then locate the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator and open it to drain the old coolant into a suitable container. Next, close the drain plug and refill the radiator with a 50/50 mix of fresh coolant and distilled water. Run the engine with the radiator cap off until the thermostat opens and coolant circulates, topping off as necessary, and finally, replace the cap and check for leaks. Be sure to dispose of the old coolant properly.
