Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 Schedule 2 with engine oil fixed maintenance.
Once engine oil flexible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating conditions. The vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 500 km (300 mile) or 15 days.
Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil and Castrol 0W-20 Oil are required to achieve optimum performance.

NOTE:

Please ensure that the Flexible Oil Maintenance Setting is reset after each Oil and Filter replacement.

For maintenance guidelines beyond the miles/months listed, follow the maintenance intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance Tables.
