Can I change my Mazda MPV oil at home?

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.”

Your 1991 MPV’s oil should be changed according to Mazda’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your MPV may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mazda recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mazda MPV. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
