Inspecting Engine Oil Level
If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
When inspecting the engine oil level, pull out the dipstick straight without twisting.
In addition, when inserting the dipstick, always insert it without twisting so that 
the “X” mark faces the front of the vehicle.
Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be reset as 
soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning light may 
turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an 
Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset procedure.
NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be 
performed using the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the 
selector for about 5 seconds until the master w
arning light        flashes.
3. After the master warning light        flashes for several seconds, the 
initialization is completed.
