Remarks:
*1 Engine oil À exible maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose vehicle is operated
mainly where none of the following conditions apply.
y Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving school car
y Driving in dusty conditions If any do apply, follow ¿ xed maintenance.
The engine oil and ¿ lter must be changed at least once a year or within 16,000 km (10,000 miles) since last
engine oil and ¿ lter change. Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the

*2 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.
*3 If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air ¿ lter more often
than the recommended intervals.
*4 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.
*5 The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates
normally (if equipped).
*6 If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, replace the rear differential oil at
every 48,000 km (30,000 miles).
a) Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier
