MaintenanceBecause your Mazda is a large piece of intricate machinery, it needs regular care in the form of maintenance
and servicing. Many owners prefer to do much of this work themselves.
So Section 8 has been prepared as a guide for the operator who wants to self-service such minor jobs\
as
changing the engine oil, replacing bulbs and wiper blades, charging the battery, and rotating the tires. All
maintenance schedules are included, along with instructions on how to make regular inspections of such things
as fluid levels.Introduction 8- 2
