Maintenance and Care
Scheduled Maintenance
Remarks:
*1 The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year or within 16,000 km (10,000 miles) since last engine oil and filter change. The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the
message/wrench indicator light display.
*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 According to state/provincial and federal regulations, failure to perfor\
m 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 reliabi\
lity.
*4 The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed\
so that the system operates normally (if equipped).
