Mazda3 owners, how often do you guys change your oil? : …
I have a 2014 Mazda 3 Sedan, so the oil change interval is every 8000km. I neglected it like an idiot and went around 20k kilometers over the recommended milage. Engine sounds so much quieter and runs smoother and more efficiently now. Lesson learned though, don't skip out on something as simple yet crucial as an oil change.
How-To: Skyactiv G Oil Change - Mazda3 Forums
2013年1月20日 · With the panel removed, the drain plug and oil filter were right there. Now THAT is how you design for maintenance. Using a 8mm Allen key, I removed the drain plug and drained the oil into a catch pan. The oil filter is situated at the bottom of a downward-facing pedestal, which made removing it a snap.

How often do you change your oil? - Mazda3 Forums
2011年3月19日 · I was brought up to change oil every 3,000 miles. I've noticed most newer vehicles say they don't need to be changed as often but 7,500 still sounds like way too many miles to put on before an oil change to me. Next oil change I'm switching over to full synthetic so I'll go up to 5,000 miles per change. Just because of the more expensive oil ...

Synthetic oil required - does the manual say that? - Mazda3 Forums
The 2012 Skyactiv Mazda 3's come from the factory with full synthetic. I'm not sure why you'd want to change to dinosaur oil, but if you can find 0W-20 and you don't mind changing the oil more frequently, it probably won't hurt anything in the short term. Full synthetic is going to be better in the long term, however.
Do I need Full Synthetic Oil? - Mazda3 Forums
2011年7月25日 · That said, synthetic oil will break down more slowly than conventional oil, so you can go 5,000 miles or more between changes. Mazda used to recommend 5W20 in the engines for the 3, but changed it for the 2011 models to 0W20 likely for fuel economy reasons. Folks here have used 5W30 in their 3's with no ill effects.
Need Some Peace of Mind About Oil Change Interval : r/mazda3
2017年12月11日 · If your owners manual says to go 10000 miles, it's a pretty safe bet to go 10000 miles. Check your oil periodically to see the condition of it as well as the level. If it starts going black or has a bunch of crud in it, go ahead and change it. Change it every 8000 if it makes you feel better, the days of "3 month 3000 mile" oil changes are long ...
DIY - How-To: Mazda 3 Automatic Tranny Fluid Change...
2005年6月9日 · (At first I didn't think we had a crush washer because I followed a How-to for the 6i and the 6i does not have a crush washer (Mazda 3 2.3L and Mazda 6i 2.3L share the same engine and tranny).) Once the oil has fully drained replace the crush washer (04-05 ONLY) and tranny drain plug. 04-05 Drain Plug 06-Up Drain Plug
manual trans oil change - Mazda3 Forums
2013年8月17日 · Pour your replacement fluid into the hose via a funnel, etc. until oil comes out of the fill hole. Then replace the fill plug and you're done. It might be worth doing some driving and then swapping it again to help get any residual old fluid out. Should take about 3 quarts of fluid. Any 75w90 GL4 gear oil works.... many like Redline MT-90.
