1997 Mazda MPV Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mazda's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mazda MPV? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your MPV towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my MPV's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mazda MPV’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mazda. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mazda MPV leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Mazda MPV can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your MPV ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
