Should I check my Mazda RX-7 motor oil level?

Can I change my Mazda oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Mazda RX-7 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Mazda recommends changing your 1991 RX-7’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your RX-7 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mazda RX-7. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
