How Often to Change 1999 Mazda Miata Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mazda Miata’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mazda recommends having your 1999 Mazda Miata’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Miata may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mazda if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mazda Miata. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
