(severe driving conditions)apply.
y
Repeated short-distance driving
y
Driving in dusty conditions
y
Driving with extended use of brakes
y
Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used
y
Driving on rough or muddy roads
y
Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation
y
Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates

Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving
school car
y
Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fi xed maintenance.
Once engine oil fl exible 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 (250 miles) or 15 days. Refer page 6-20 for the details.
Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil and Castrol
