Low and Full.
If it is near or below Low, add enough
oil to bring the level to Full.
CAUTION
Do not add engine oil over Full. This
may cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.

Brake/Clutch Fluid
qInspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low,
have the brakes inspected:A low brake/clutch fluid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake
lining wear or a brake system leak
which could cause the brakes to fail
and lead to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have the
brake/clutch system inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Power Steering Fluid
q Inspecting Power Steering Fluid
Level
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for long periods when the
power steering fluid level is low.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir at
each engine oil change with the engine off
and cold.
The level must be kept between MIN and
MAX.
Visually examine the lines and hoses for
leaks and damage.
If the fluid decreases significantly or the
fluid level is around MIN or lower than
MIN, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
To inspect the washer fluid level in the
front reservoir, pull off the cap. Then,
holding your thumb over the hole in the
center of the cap, lift it straight up. The
fluid level can be seen from the fluid
column in the pipe. Add fluid if necessary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable. But use only washer fluid in
cold weather to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied from
the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
