Mazda recommends changing your 1997 Miata’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Miata in the above table. Your Miata may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mazda recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mazda Miata. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
