Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata

  • What can low oil do to my Mazda MX-5 Miata engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Mazda MX-5 Miata engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mazda oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform 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, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mazda MX-5 Miata oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mazda MX-5 Miata oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Mazda MX-5 Miata oil light comes on? 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mazda MX-5 Miata? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mazda MX-5 Miata every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
