Maintenance and Care

Scheduled Maintenance

  Remarks:

     *1   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.

   *2   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.

   *3   To equalize tread wear for maintaining good performance in handling and braking, rotate the tires every 12,000 

km (7,500 miles). However Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life 
and distribute wear more evenly.

   *4   The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates 

normally (if equipped).

   *5   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
   b)   Driving in dusty, sandy or wet conditions
   c)   Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
   d)   Repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles)

   *6   If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.
