Chart symbols:
I : Inspect and clean, repair, adjust, or replace if necessary.
R:Replace
C : Clean
Remarks:
•To ensure efficient operation of the engine and all systems related to emission control, the ignition and fuel systems must
be serviced regularly. It is strongly recommended that all servicing related to these systems be done by an authorized
Mazda Dealer.
•After the described period, continue to follow the described maintenance at the recommended intervals.
•Refer below for a description of items marked* in the maintenance chart.
*1: If the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, change the engine oil and oil filter every 10,000 km
(6,000 miles) or shorter.
a. Driving in dusty conditions.
b. Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
c. Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only.
*2: Also inspect and adjust the power steering and air conditioner drive belts, if installed.
*3: If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle is
operated in extremely humid climates, change the brake fluid annually.
*4: If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air cleaner element more
often than the recommended intervals.
*5: This is a full function check of electrical systems such as lights, wiper and washer systems (including wiper blades),
and power windows.

TIMING BELT
Timing Belt, Timing Belt Auto Tensioner Installation Note
1. Measure the tensioned rod projection length.
•If not as specified, replace the timing belt auto
tensioner.
2. Inspect the timing belt auto tensioner for oil
leakage.
•If not as specified, replace the timing belt auto
tensioner.
Projection (free length)
12.9—14.6 mm {0.508—0.574 in}
Caution
•Placing the timing belt auto tensioner
horizontally can cause oil leakage and
damage the timing belt auto tensioner. Place the timing belt auto tensioner vertically when using a
vise.
3. Verify the thrust of the timing belt auto tensioner
rod in the following order:
•If the timing belt auto tensioner rod is rigid
when it is pushed with a force of
approximately 235 N {24 kgf, 53 Ibf}, push it
down slowly and fix the pin in the hole.
•If there is no resistance on the timing belt auto
tensioner rod and it moves slightly when it is
pushed with a force of approximately 235 N
{24 kgf, 53 Ibf};
(1) Push it down slowly two or three times to the
bottom end of the rod.
(2) If the rod protrudes approximately 8.1 mm
{0.32 in}, verify that there is resistance on the
timing belt auto tensioner rod.
Caution
•To prevent damage to the inside of the
timing belt auto tensioner, do not press
down the timing belt auto tensioner rod
with a force greater than the specified
235 N {24 kgf, 53 lbf}.
Be careful that the rod does not touch the
bottom.
•If the timing belt auto tensioner rod
projection is restored, push it down slowly and fix the pin in the hole.
—If the resistance is not restored, replace the timing belt auto tensoner.

3. Install the rocker arm shaft plane side upward.
Caution
•Because there is little camshaft thrust
clearance, the camshaft must be held
horizontally while it is installed.
Otherwise, excessive force will be
applied to the thrust area, causing burrs
on the thrust receiving area of the
cylinder head journal. To avoid this, the
following procedure must be observed.
4. Tighten the bolts in two or three steps in the order
shown.
Tightening torque
25—30 N·m {2.5—3.1 kgf·m, 18—22 ft·lbf}
5. Apply clean engine oil to the new oil seal.
