Properly caring for and maintaining your vehicle is important so your drives around Merrimack and Hudson can remain smooth and safe. Oil changes are one service that is a must for drivers who want to ensure their vehicle continues working like new. But what type of oil is recommended for the Mazda3?
Take a look below to learn more about the recommended oil type for your Mazda3, and then explore our service specials for savings on your next visit. Feel free to contact our service department with any questions or concerns about your Mazda vehicle and we’ll be happy to assist you.
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.
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.
Now that you know more about the recommended Mazda3 oil type and oil filter, it’s time to bring your vehicle to our Nashua service center.
