Except U.S.A. and CANADA
Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil.
Oil container labels provide important
information.
A chief contribution this type of oil makes
to fuel economy is reducing the amount of
fuel necessary to overcome engine friction.

For maintenance service, Mazda
recommends Mazda Genuine Parts and
Castrol
® (Mexico only).





(ILSAC)
(Mexico)

Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil. If SAE 5W-30
engine oil is not available, use SAE 5W-20
engine oil.

The quality designation SM, or ILSAC
must be on the label.

Battery Maintenance

To get the best service from a battery:
   Keep it securely mounted.  Keep the top clean and dry.  Keep terminals and connections clean,
tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or
terminal grease.
   Rinse off spilled electrolyte immediately
with a solution of water and baking
soda.
   If the vehicle will not be used for an
extended time, disconnect the battery
cables and charge the battery every six
weeks.

Battery Replacement
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for a
battery replacement purchase.
Key Battery Replacement
If the buttons on the transmitter are
inoperable and the operation indicator
light does not fl ash, the battery may be
dead.
Replace with a new battery before the
transmitter becomes unusable.
CAUTION
 Make sure the battery is installed correctly. Battery leakage could occur if it
is not installed correctly.
 When replacing the battery, be careful not to touch any of the internal circuitry
and electrical terminals, bend the
electrical terminals, or get dirt in the
transmitter as the transmitter could be
damaged.
 There is the danger of explosion if the battery is not correctly replaced.
 Dispose of used batteries according to the following instructions.
 Insulate the plus and minus terminals of the battery using cellophane or
equivalent tape.
 Never disassemble. Never throw the battery into fi re or water.
 Never deform or crush.  Replace only with the same type battery (CR2025 or equivalent).

Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition: Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tires at the same time: Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

New tread
Tread wear
indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate
the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-25 .

Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
infl ated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.

The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire. This tire should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.

Use the temporary spare tire only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-9 .

*Some models.
CAUTION
 Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conventional
tire. Neither will properly fi t and could
damage both tire and rim.
 The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
 The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tread wear solid-
band indicator appears, replace the tire
with the same type of temporary spare
(page 6-41 ).

NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate
the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road

period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-25 .

Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle: Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling
could be aff ected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.

CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
aff ect:
 Tire fi t Wheel and bearing life Ground clearance Snow-chain clearance Speedometer calibration Headlight aim Bumper height Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
NOTE
  When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
  For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.


Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and fl at spots.
