How often should I come in for Mazda MX-5 Miata differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my MX-5 Miata?

Can you clear the MX-5 Miata check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your MX-5 Miata's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your MX-5 Miata.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my MX-5 Miata?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your MX-5 Miata’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your MX-5 Miata forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
