Mazda recommends changing your 2006 MX-5 Miata’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mazda MX-5 Miata? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mazda MX-5 Miata engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mazda MX-5 Miata 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mazda exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mazda MX-5 Miata oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mazda MX-5 Miata oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Mazda MX-5 Miata oil light illuminated? Your Mazda MX-5 Miata oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my MX-5 Miata's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Mazda MX-5 Miata 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.
