What Are the Mazda Maintenance Schedules?

If you want to keep your Mazda running like it did the day you left the dealership, routine maintenance is a must. If you are wondering about the recommended Mazda maintenance for your particular model, you have come to the right place. The best place to learn about Mazda maintenance is your owner’s manual or the Mazda service center at Greenway Mazda. This ensures that your Mazda is getting the proper care it needs. The service center at Greenway Mazda has provided maintenance schedules for some common Mazda models below.

The Mazda maintenance schedule for your vehicle varies depending on whether you set the “Oil Change” maintenance monitor to “Flexible” or “Fixed.” While the necessary tasks stay the same, the frequency of some tasks will change based on your choice.

MAZDA3 Maintenance Schedule

When driving under normal driving conditions, you should plan on the following maintenance schedule for a Mazda3. If you regularly drive under conditions that could be harsh on the vehicle, consult your owner’s manual or talk with a member of our team to determine a better schedule.

• Every Year: Inspect your disc brakes.
• Every Two Years: Inspect the fuel lines/hoses, brake lines, hoses, and connections, steering operation, front and rear suspension, driveshaft dust boost, and tighten bolts and nuts and chassis and body.
• Every Three Years: Inspect the drive belts.
• Every Four Years: Inspect the hoses and tubes for emission and exhaust system and heat shields.
• On a “Flexible” oil change monitor setting: Replace oil when the wrench indicator is ON. At this time, you should also replace the air filter and cabin air filter. The max interval is 12 months / 10,000 miles.
• On a “Fixed” oil change monitor setting: Replace the oil every 6 months, plus replace the air filter at 30 months and the cabin air filter every two years.
• Replace engine coolant at 120,000 miles / 10 years or 60,000 miles / 4 years depending on coolant type. After the first replacement, change at 60,000 miles / 5 years and 60,000 miles / 4 years, respectively.
