When should I come in for Mazda 2 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 2?
