Remarks:

*

1 If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air filter more often

than the recommended intervals.

*

2 Engine oil flexible maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose vehicle is operated

mainly where none of the following conditions apply.

•

Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving school car

•

Driving in dusty conditions

If any do apply, follow fixed maintenance.
The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year or within 12,000 km (7,500 miles) since last
engine oil and filter change. Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the
message/wrench indicator light display.

*

3 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.

*

4 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.

*

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

*

6 Check the tire repair fluid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the

tire repair fluid bottle with new one before the expiration date.
