Type:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline (Octane rating as per owner's manual)
Oil Change:
Typically every 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used.
Spark Plugs:
Refer to manual for specific interval, often around 30,000-60,000 km for standard plugs.
Timing Belt:
Critical component. Mazda B6 and BP engines use a timing belt. Replacement interval typically 80,000-100,000 km or 5-7 years.
Engine Oil Type:
API SG or SH, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 recommended (check manual for precise specification).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific type (e.g., green or long-life).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual).
Engine Wear:
Timing belt failure can cause severe engine damage. Regular replacement is vital. Oil leaks from valve cover gasket or oil pan gasket.
Fuel System:
Clogged fuel injectors or fuel filter. Idle control valve issues leading to rough idle.
Cooling System:
Thermostat failure, radiator leaks, and water pump seal leaks are common wear items.
Electrical:
Alternator or starter motor wear. Issues with ignition coils or spark plug wires.
