• How Often to Get an Oil Change: You should know when to get an oil changeas well! It used to be conventional wisdom to take your car in for an oil change every 3,000 miles. The good news is that, thanks to advancements in engineering, a new Mazda oil change only needs to happen every 5,000 – 7,500 miles, around 6 months. There are some models that go up to 10,000 miles on the road before they need an oil change. As with all things maintenance, make sure to check your owner’s manual.
• Genuine Mazda Premium Oil:Mazda Premium Oil has been designed for Mazda vehicles specifically. It’s the same oil all the parts and equipment on your Mazda were tested with, and it’s available at Freeman Mazda or other Mazda parts centers.
• Should you use synthetic or conventional oil? Your owner’s manual will have that information. Synthetic oil typically costs more, but it won’t affect the time required for an oil change.
