Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto

Rico)

Follow Schedule 1 if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions

(severe driving conditions)apply.



Repeated short-distance driving

Driving in dusty conditions

Driving with extended use of brakes

Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used

Driving on rough or muddy roads

Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation

Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates

Driving in extremely hot conditions



Driving in mountainous conditions continually

If any do apply, follow Schedule 2. (Canada residents follow Schedule 2.)

Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance

Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance is selected by default for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico

residents.

If any following conditions do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fixed maintenance.



Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving

school car

Driving in dusty conditions



The vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating conditions. The

vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light

in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1,000 km (600

mile) or 15 days. Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page 6-15 for the details.

NOTE

The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year or within 12,000 km (7,500 miles) since last

engine oil and filter change. Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the

Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine coolant other than FL-22 may

cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.

According to state/provincial and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenance on these items will not

void your emissions warranties. However, Mazda recommends that all maintenance services be performed at

the recommended time or mileage/kilometer period to ensure long-term reliability.

If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.
