Inspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the oil pan. 4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.
Max
Min
5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between
MIN and MAX. If it is below MIN,
add oil to raise the level within the
hatching zone.
CAUTION
Do not add engine oil over MAX. This
may cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.

Brake Fluid
qInspecting Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:
A low brake 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.
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 linings. If it
is excessively low, have the brake 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 MAX and
MIN.
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.
