Why check the motor oil level in my Mazda MPV?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your MPV’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Mazda oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Mazda MPV spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Where can I get Mazda MPV oil changes?

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mazda MPV oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.

Why is my Mazda MPV oil light illuminated?

Your Mazda MPV oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to change my MPV's oil filter when I get an oil change?

You should replace your Mazda MPV during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Mazda recommends having your 1990 Mazda MPV’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your MPV in the above table. No matter the mileage, your MPV may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine 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.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mazda MPV. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
