The Mazda brand is famous for developing wholly original platforms for their models, which is to say, their models’ designs are some of the most unique in the industry. After all, they manage to make affordable high-performance vehicles that most San Dimas shoppers can afford. It goes without saying that you need to use a specialized Mazda oil type to keep your vehicle running at optimum efficiency, however. But what type of oil is recommended for the Mazda3? And how often should you have a Mazda oil change performed? Take a moment to learn more. Then, explore our service specials and contact our service department to save on an oil change at Mazda of Claremont!
The Mazda3 oil type required for your Rancho Cucamonga vehicle is Mazda Genuine SAE 0W-20. If this oil isn’t available, you can also SAE 5W-30 engine oil, but make sure that the quality designation, “SM” or “ILSAC” is on the label. If you’re driving a Mazda with a turbo engine, we strongly recommend SAE 5W-30.
As for oil additives, you’re more than welcome to use cleaner or booster additives. Just bear in mind that they can cause oil to thicken, which may lead to sluggish starting in the winter.
Now that you know what type of oil is recommended for the Mazda3, let’s take a look at how often to get a Mazda3 oil change. Mazda recommends that you change your Mazda3 oil every 7,500 miles or 12 months. If you have a heavy Upland commute, change your oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles.
You can buy the correct Mazda3 oil type at Mazda of Claremont in Claremont at our parts department. You can also have your oil levels checked, your Mazda3 oil change performed, and your oil light reset at our service garage. Just call us at 909-451-5100 to get started.
