Engine Oil
▼Engine Oil
NOTE
Changing the engine oil should be
performed by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Refer to Introduction (page 6-2) for
owner's responsibility in protecting
your investment.
▼Recommended Oil
U.S.A., Canada
Use ILSAC GF-V or higher/ SAE
0W-20 engine oil.
Mazda Genuine Oil is used in your
Mazda vehicle. Mazda Genuine
0W-20 Oil is required to achieve
optimum fuel economy.

For maintenance service, Mazda
recommends Mazda Genuine Parts
and Oil.

Only use SAE 0W-20 oil “Certified For
Gasoline Engines” by the American

evaporates, the minerals will
concentrate and harden to form white
rings. The rings can damage your
vehicle's finish.
Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its finish according
to the instructions in this section.
These steps should be taken
immediately after you find water marks
on your vehicle's finish.
Pa i n t C h i p p i n g
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tires hits your vehicle.
How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you
and the vehicle ahead reduces the
chances of having your paint chipped
by flying gravel.
NOTE
The paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when traveling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
In low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
Chipped paint can lead to rust
forming on your Mazda. Before this
happens, repair the damage by using
Mazda touch-up paint according to
the instructions in this section.
Failure to repair the affected area
could lead to serious rusting and
expensive repairs.

Follow all label and container
directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings
and cautions.

CAUTION

Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windshield
Wiper Blades (page 6-21) section for
the procedure on how to move the

pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when the wipers
activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the
windshield, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely (when it is
most likely that the engine is left
running) this is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
