DESCRIPTION

Mazda has developed factory recommended scheduled maintenance services that support all major vehicle systems. Mazda recommends dealers follow the scheduled maintenance tables as cited in the vehicle-specific workshop manual or owner’s manual.

Services performed outside of Mazda’s factory scheduled maintenance are not recommended. These services are unnecessary and create unneeded expenses for your customers.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Refer to the applicable Workshop Manual or Owner’s Manual for vehicle -specific manufacturer scheduled maintenance.

  1. Workshop Manual – Refer to section 00-00 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.

  2. Owner’s Manual – Refer to section 8 Maintenance and Care.

NOTE: The following services are not included in Mazda’s Factory Scheduled Maintenance:

  • Transmission fluid flushing should only be performed when instructed by Workshop Manual or any other Mazda publication.
  • Transmission fluid replacement is only recommended on B-Series Truck and Tribute and should be performed only at the mileage intervals specified in the owner’s manual.
  • Transmission flushing is recommended if the customer accidentally adjusted the transmission level using an incompatible type of fluid.
Transmission oil additives
  • Transmission oil additives could (under certain conditions) lead to internal damage and void the warranty.
Engine flushes
  • Engine oil flushes are unnecessary.
  • Contaminated oil from flushing machines may damage the engine and void the warranty.

  • Flushing the coolant system is only recommended if the customer accidentally adjusted the coolant level using an incompatible type of coolant.
  • Flushing machines that recondition? the existing coolant should never be used. This procedure cannot completely reverse the chemical deterioration that occurs to the coolant during use.
