The best thing you can do for your Mazda is regular oil changes. A Mazda oil change will ensure that your engine is clean, protected, and running smoothly. The frequency of oil changes depends on various factors, from the factory-recommended oil changes and driving conditions to the quality of the oil. With regular oil changes from a certified Mazda technician, your vehicle will be fuel-efficient and perform optimally.
How Often Should You Get a Mazda Oil Change?
Oil and Your Mazda Engine
The oil in your Mazda ensures that the moving parts are well-lubricated, reduces friction that causes wear and overheating. The oil also keeps your engine clean, protected and running smoothly. Over time the oil starts to deteriorate, becomes contaminated with dirt and debris, and loses its protective properties. The reduced lubrication results in friction, wear, and higher fuel consumption.
Routine Oil Changes
Routine oil and filter changes from a qualified Mazda technician will improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, engine performance and ensure that your vehicle lasts longer. The Mazda recommended an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months. Please consult your owner’s manual for the recommended oil changes for your specific year and model, or speak to your Mazda technician for more information.
Factors that Influence Oil Changes
The frequency of oil changes varies depending on the engine type, oil quality, driving style, and the conditions under which the vehicle is driven. Older vehicles will also require oil changes more often than newer models.
Normal and Severe Driving Conditions
Mazda has different oil change recommendations for vehicles that are driven under normal and severe driving conditions. Your Mazda will require more frequent oil changes if you drive under severe conditions.
Severe conditions include repeated short trips, extended periods of idling, extensive brake use, rough, muddy, dusty, and mountainous roads, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. Your Mazda technician will assist you with the correct oil change intervals for your driving style and conditions.
Engine Oil
Not only are regular oil changes important, but the quality, grade, and viscosity of the oil used also play a part in engine performance. Genuine Mazda Premium Oil is meticulously engineered to factory standards for your Mazda engine to maintain the right viscosity and weight.
