Should I check my Mazda MX-3 motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Mazda MX-3 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Mazda MX-3 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Mazda exhaust smoke gray or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Mazda MX-3 to illuminate?

Do I need to change my MX-3's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Not sure how or where to get your Mazda MX-3’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mazda recommends changing your 1993 MX-3’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your MX-3 in the above table. Outside of Mazda-recommended oil change intervals, your MX-3 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mazda MX-3. 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.
