Inspecting Engine Oil Level
If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
For details, refer to Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
When inspecting the engine oil level, pull out the dipstick straight without

After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an Authorised Mazda

If the value recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicator light
may not turn off or it may turn on earlier than normal.

The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be
performed using the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the
selector for about 5 seconds until the master warning light flashes.
3. After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the initial-
ization is completed.
