What Type of Oil is Recommended for the MAZDA3? 

The Mazda3 oil type required for your Merrimack 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. 

How Often Should I Perform a MAZDA3 Oil Change?

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 Lowell commute, change your oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles.
