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?

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.
