Remarks:
*1 Engine oil flexible maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply.
 Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving school car Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow fixed maintenance. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year or within 16,000 km (10,000 miles) since last engine oil and filter change. The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light display.*2 Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine \
coolant other than FL-22 may cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.*3 According to state/provincial and federal regulations, failure to perfor\
m maintenance on these items will not void your emissions warranties. However, Mazda recommends that all maintenance services be performed at the recommended time or mileage/kilometer period to ensure long-term reliabi\
lity.*4 The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed\
so that the system operates normally (if equipped).*5 If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.*6 Check the tire repair fluid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the tire repair fluid bottle with new one before the expiration date.
