2014 Mazda6 Maintenance Schedule
These two model years share one schedule, and it is not the one any later Mazda6 uses. There is no oil-life monitor and no wrench light in the book: Mazda schedules the engine oil at a fixed 7,500 miles or 6 months on the normal table and 5,000 miles or 4 months on the severe one, and both tables are marked on their own grids. This page states these model years’ own tables and no other year’s.
What Is Different About This Model Year
The reason these model years have their own page instead of being read off a later Mazda6’s.
This Model Year Opens Mazda’s 2014–2015 Table
Mazda published the same Mazda6 maintenance schedule across 2014–2015 — two model years — and this is the first of them. It is the earliest model year this research covers for the Mazda6, so what Mazda published before it is not stated here. The model years after it inside that span read the same table unchanged, and each has its own page saying so.
There Is No Oil-Life Monitor
Mazda prints no wrench-indicator language anywhere in these model years’ schedule section. The engine oil and the oil filter are marked at every column of Schedule 1 — every 7,500 miles or 6 months — and at every column of Schedule 2, every 5,000 miles or 4 months. Every later Mazda6 replaces that with a flexible interval and a maximum, so an owner told to wait for a wrench light on this car would be waiting for something the car does not have.
Both Grids Are This Generation’s Own
Schedule 1 steps 6 months and 7,500 miles at a time and Schedule 2 steps 4 months and 5,000 miles. Later Mazda6 tables step 12 months on the normal schedule and 6 on the severe one, so a column number here means nothing on those pages and a month figure carried across is wrong even where the mileage matches.
Two Coolants, Two Answers
Mazda prints two engine coolant rows for these model years. FL22 type: replace at first 192,000 km (120,000 miles) or 10 years, then every 96,000 km (60,000 miles) or 5 years. Others: replace at first 96,000 km (60,000 miles) or 4 years, then every 2 years. Which applies depends on the inscription FL22 on the radiator cap or the area around it. Later Mazda6 tables print only the FL-22 figure, so the second row exists on this page alone.
Rows That Belong to Another Market
These tables also carry a Puerto-Rico-scoped engine oil row, a Puerto-Rico-scoped air filter row, and a body-condition inspection Mazda marks Canada only. None of the three is a figure for a car serviced in Mobile, and none is quoted as one below.

Schedule 1 — Normal Driving
These model years’ normal-driving table, grouped by the interval Mazda marks each row at.
Sourced from the Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto Rico) section of the 2014 Mazda6 owner’s manual, document Mazda6_8DL2-EA-13F_Edition1, section pages 397 to 401, and confirmed byte-identical in the 2015 manual, document Mazda6_8DQ8-EA-13L_Edition3 — two printings, one schedule, which is why these two model years share one page. No other model year’s manual was used. The Puerto-Rico-scoped oil and air filter rows and the Canada-only body condition row printed in the same tables are out of market and are excluded here. Your own manual is the authority for your vehicle; bring the mileage and our team will read the table with you.
Which Schedule Applies to Your Mazda6
On these model years the answer is a property of the whole car, not of one row.
Mazda’s Own Condition List
Repeated short-distance driving; driving in dusty conditions; driving with extended use of brakes; driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used; driving on rough or muddy roads; extended periods of idling or low-speed operation; driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates; driving in extremely hot conditions; driving in mountainous conditions continually. If any apply, Mazda routes the car to Schedule 2.
It Is the Whole Car, Not One Row
A single condition moves the entire schedule to Schedule 2, which on these model years means the engine oil goes from every 7,500 miles or 6 months to every 5,000 miles or 4 months and every chassis row moves with it. Mazda’s newer books map each condition to specific items instead; the two models of severe service may never be written each other’s way.
There Is No Flexible Alternative
Later Mazda6 books offer flexible engine-oil maintenance with a wrench indicator and a maximum interval. These model years offer nothing of the kind: the oil row is a fixed mark on both tables, and there is no monitor to read.
Rows That Are Not for This Market
Mazda routes Puerto Rico and Canada residents to Schedule 2 on these model years, and prints separate Puerto-Rico-scoped oil and air filter rows and a Canada-only body condition inspection inside the tables. None is a figure for a car serviced in Mobile, so none is quoted as one here. Which table your Mazda6 is on is a question about how it is driven, and our service team will go through the condition list with you.
Schedule 2 — Severe Driving
The severe-driving table for these model years, on the four-month grid this generation uses.
Every 5,000 Miles or 4 Months
Engine oil, engine oil filter, engine coolant level, brake and clutch fluid level, tire inflation pressure and tire wear, function of all lights, all locks and hinges lubricated, and washer fluid level, all marked at every one of the twelve columns. Tire rotation runs at the same cadence and is printed as a sentence: rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles). The four-month half of that figure belongs to this generation; later Mazda6 severe tables print 6 months for the same mileage.
Disc Brakes Every 15,000 Miles
Marked at every third column of the twelve on the severe table — every 15,000 miles or 12 months, the same interval Schedule 1 gives them. On this generation the severe schedule does not shorten the brake inspection; it shortens the oil and the fluid checks. That is worth stating plainly, because every later Mazda6 severe table does shorten it.
Every 30,000 Miles or 24 Months
Fuel lines and hoses, brake lines, hoses and connections, steering operation and linkages, front and rear suspension with ball joints and wheel bearing axial play, driveshaft dust boots, and the bolts and nuts on the chassis and body, which are tightened rather than inspected.
The Longer Severe Rows
At 35,000 miles or 28 months, once — drive belts, and the air filter row scoped to everywhere but Puerto Rico. At 60,000 miles or 48 months, once — hoses and tubes for emission. Every 45,000 miles or 5 years — exhaust system and heat shields. Every 25,000 miles or 2 years — cabin air filter, printed as a sentence. Spark plugs and both engine coolant rows carry the same sentences Schedule 1 prints.

Why These Model Years Have Their Own Page
This generation has no oil-life monitor. Mazda schedules the engine oil at a fixed 7,500 miles or 6 months on Schedule 1 and 5,000 miles or 4 months on Schedule 2, marks the disc brakes every 15,000 miles on both, and prints a second engine coolant row for non-FL22 coolant that later books drop. Nothing on a later Mazda6 page answers for this car.
Schedule 1 and Schedule 2
Schedule 1 is the normal-driving table and steps 6 months and 7,500 miles at a time. Schedule 2 is the severe-driving table and steps 4 months and 5,000 miles. On these model years a single severe condition moves the whole car onto Schedule 2, so which table you read is settled by how the car is driven rather than by which rows you happen to care about.
Booking and Pricing
Service pricing moves, so it lives on the service offers page rather than being written into this one — what you read there is current. Book through the service scheduler, or see the rest of what we do at the Mazda service center.
2014 Mazda6 Maintenance Schedule Questions
How often does a 2014 or 2015 Mazda6 need an oil change?⌄
Mazda schedules it at a fixed interval on this generation, because these model years have no oil-life monitor: every 7,500 miles or 6 months on Schedule 1, and every 5,000 miles or 4 months on Schedule 2. There is no wrench indicator to wait for.
How often are the disc brakes inspected on a 2014 or 2015 Mazda6?⌄
Every 15,000 miles or 12 months, and Mazda marks the row at that interval on both tables — the severe schedule does not shorten it on this generation.
Which engine coolant does a 2014 or 2015 Mazda6 use?⌄
Mazda prints two rows. If the radiator cap or the area around it carries the inscription FL22, the coolant is replaced at first 192,000 km (120,000 miles) or 10 years and then every 96,000 km (60,000 miles) or 5 years. Otherwise it is replaced at first 96,000 km (60,000 miles) or 4 years and then every 2 years, and Mazda says to use FL22 when replacing it.
Does this page apply to a newer Mazda6?⌄
No. Every later Mazda6 is on a different grid with a flexible oil interval and a wrench indicator, and the schedules Mazda publishes for them are on their own pages. This page states the schedule printed in these model years’ own owner’s manuals and nothing else.
How much is maintenance for a 2014 or 2015 Mazda6 at Dean McCrary Mazda?⌄
Service pricing moves, so it lives on one page that is kept current rather than being written into pages like this one. Current offers are on the service offers page, and our service team will confirm the figure for your Mazda6 when you book.
