Let’s talk about how frequently the Mazda3 service schedule calls for you to bring your car in for maintenance and what our service center does on each visit. We’ll even talk about how you can save on the Mazda3 maintenance cost.

MAZDA3 Service Schedule — How Often to Bring Your Car In

Your Mazda3 maintenance schedule depends on driving conditions. If you drive under normal conditions, you can bring your car in for service once every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. But, we don’t have to tell you that Appleton area Winters can be rough on a vehicle. So, if you drive under severe conditions, your Mazda3 service schedule will shorten to once every 6 months or 8,000 miles, whichever comes first. What qualifies as “severe” driving conditions? Here’s a list:

• The vehicle is idled for long periods or driven at low speeds, such as with police cars,

taxis, or driver’s education school car.

• Driving under dusty conditions.
• Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or driving regularly for short distances only.
• Driving under extremely high temperature conditions.
• Driving continuously in mountainous regions.
