Owner MaintenancePrecautions
▼Owner Maintenance Precautions
The owner or a qualified service
technician should make these vehicle
inspections at the i
ndicated intervals to
ensure safe and dependable operation.

Bring any problem to the attention of an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or qualified
service technician as soon as possible.
When Refueling
Brake and clutch fluid level (page
6-18)
Engine coolant level (page 6-17)
Engine oil level (page 6-16)
Washer fluid lev el (page 6-19)
At Least Monthly
Tire inflation pressures (page 6-30)
At Least Twice a Year (For Example,
Every Spring and Fall)
You can do the following scheduled
maintenance items if you have some
mechanical ability and a few basic tools
and if you closely follow the directions in
this manual.
Engine coolant (page 6-17)
Engine oil (page 6-16)

Improper or incomplete service may result
in problems. This section gives
instructions only for items that are easy to
perform.

As explained in the Introduction (page
6-2), several procedures can be done only
by a qualified service technician with
special tools.

Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage. Refer to Introduction (page 6-2)
for owner's responsibility in protecting
your investment. For details, read the
separate Mazda Warranty statement
provided with the vehicle. If you are
unsure about any servicing or maintenance
procedure, have it done by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

There are strict environmental laws
regarding the disposal of waste oil and
fluids. Please disp ose of your waste
properly and with due regard to the
environment.

We recommend that you entrust the oil and
fluid changes of your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Do not perform maintenance work if you
lack sufficient knowledge and experience
or the proper tools and equipment to do
the work. Have maintenance work done by
a qualified technician:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle
is dangerous if not done properly. You can
be seriously injured while performing some
maintenance procedures.

Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with
different types of
tires is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tire, use only the same type tires
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tire clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tires that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or
underinflation of tires is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-9.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tire air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tire valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious accident. Do
not use any part for the tire valve cap that
is not a Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recom mended pressures for
the best ride, handling, and minimum tire
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-9).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.

Mazda3_8HE9-EA-18K_Edition1 2018-10-17 19:05:10

Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
▼Tire Rotation
WA R N I N G
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tires every 16,000 km (10,000
miles). However Mazda recommends to
rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help
increase tire life and distribute wear more
evenly.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico) on page 6-4.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (Canada)
on page 6-6.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (Mexico)
on page 6-8.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.

The temporary spare tire has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
 The temporary spare tire is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the
tire with the same type of temporary
spare (page 6-32).
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-22.
▼ Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
 Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

Antitheft wheel lug nuts cannot be
installed on a steel wheel spare tire. When
installing a temporary spare tire, use one
of the original lug nuts in place of the
locking lug nut. The original lug nuts are
stored inside your Mazda.
1. Antitheft lug nut
2. Special key
To remove an antitheft lug nut
1. Obtain the special key for the antitheftlug nut.
2. Place the special key on top of the
antitheft lug nut, and be sure to hold
the key square to it. If you hold the key
at an angle, you may damage both key
and nut. Do not use a power impact
wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the key and apply pressure. Turn the wrench
counterclockwise.

▼Mounting the Spare Tire
1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.

WA R N I N G
Make sure the mounting surfaces of the
wheel, hub and lug nuts are clean
before changing or replacing tires:
When changing or replacing a tire, not
removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub
and hub bolts is dangerous. The lug
nuts could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting in
an accident.
2. Mount the spare tire.
3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled edge inward; tighten them by hand.

10. Remove the tire blocks and store thetools and jack.
11. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to Tires on page 9-9.
12. Have the flat tire repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
13. After repairing or replacing the flat
tire, install the wh eel cover (vehicles
with steel wheels) or center cap

the following procedure.
(Wheel cover)
1. Align the notch on the wheel cover with the tire valve of the wheel and
install the wheel cover to the
wheel.
