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

 Inspecting Engine Oil Level

             1.   Be  sure  the  vehicle  is  on  a  level 

surface.

   2.   Warm up the engine to normal 

operating temperature.

   3.   Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes 

for the oil to return to the oil pan.

   4.   Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and 

reinsert it fully.

Full

OK

Low

   5.   Pull it out again and examine the level.
   

The level is normal if it is between 
Low and Full.

If it is near or below Low, add enough 
oil to bring the level to Full.
