Follow our simple and comprehensive checklist below that will keep your Mazda as good as new. Following these simple takes will ensure your Mazda stays in top condition.
Areas of your Mazda that require regular checks:
If it’s at the low end of the indicator, top-up your oil using the grade specified in your Mazda’s owner manual (be careful not to overfill!). To ensure the longevity of your engine, Mazda recommends using Genuine Mazda Engine Oils.
It is common for the oil level to increase above the “F” (full) mark in these vehicles. If the oil level approaches or exceeds the “X”, which is the highest mark on the dipstick, the oil will need to be replaced.
Mazda recommends using an authorised Mazda Service Centre to change your oil, as the M-MDS (Mazda Modular Diagnostic System) equipment must be used to reset the engine control system whenever the oil is replaced.
If your Mazda is losing coolant, there may be a leak and you should see our Mazda Service centre immediately. Driving your Mazda without enough engine coolant can cause major damage to your vehicle.
Fill the washer bottle with clean water and add the recommended amount of windscreen washer additive. Don’t use household detergents as they can damage paintwork and wiper blades.
Check the condition of your wiper blades. If they’re starting to deteriorate, replace them with Genuine Mazda blades which your Mazda Service can fit for you.
Test headlights on low and high beam then check your indicators, plus your reversing, parking, brake and number plate lights.
The best way to check the rear stop, reverse and indicator lights is with the help of someone else or by looking back into a reflective surface, like a window.
