2017 Mazda CX-3 Maintenance Schedule
This model year sits between two different CX-3 schedules. Its severe table moves onto the six-month grid every later CX-3 uses, but its Schedule 1 is still marked in ten-thousand-mile steps with an oil ceiling of 12 months or 10,000 miles, and Mazda still prints a second, fixed Schedule 1 table beside it. This page states that model year’s own tables and no other year’s.
What Is Different About This Model Year
The reason this model year has its own page instead of being read off a later CX-3’s.
Mazda Published This Table for This Model Year Alone
Mazda revised the published schedule at this model year. It revised it again at the next one, so this table belongs to this model year and to no other. What that means for the table below is set out in the cards that follow.
The Severe Grid Moves to Six-Month Steps
Mazda prints this model year’s Schedule 2 columns as 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66 and 72 months against the same 5,000 to 60,000 miles the model year before it uses. Every mileage stays put and every month figure changes, so the fixed engine oil row becomes every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Eight severe rows also gain marks with the change — drive belts, brake lines, disc brakes, steering, suspension, driveshaft dust boots and the chassis bolts among them.
Puerto Rico Moves onto Schedule 1
Both Schedule 1 tables are retitled U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents on this model year, and Mazda’s routing sentence drops Puerto Rico: only Canada residents follow Schedule 2. The separate Puerto-Rico-scoped air filter row the model year before it prints inside Schedule 2 collapses into one sentence with it.
The Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit Row Appears
All three of this model year’s U.S. tables print an emergency flat tire repair kit row, if installed, inspected annually. The model year before it prints no such row anywhere, which is why that page does not state one.
Schedule 1 Is Still on Ten-Thousand-Mile Steps
The flexible Schedule 1 is marked in 16,000 km (10,000 mile) steps and its oil ceiling is 12 months or 16,000 km (10,000 miles). The following model year rescales the whole table and drops the ceiling, so a column number on this page means nothing on that one. Mazda also still prints a second, fixed Schedule 1 table here; from the next model year on there is only one.

What was done, and what comes next
Schedule 1 — Normal Driving
This model year’s two normal-driving tables, each read on its own grid.
Sourced from the Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto Rico) section of the 2017 Mazda CX-3 owner’s manual, document CX-3_8FH8-EA-16E_Edition2, section pages 402 to 409, and from no other model year’s manual. Mazda’s standalone scheduled-maintenance document for this model year is a repackaging of the same printing and agrees with it. 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 CX-3
On this model year 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. Mazda prints: follow Schedule 1 if none of these apply, and if any do apply, follow Schedule 2.
It Is the Whole Car, Not One Row
On this car a single condition moves the entire schedule to Schedule 2 — the oil, the disc brakes and every chassis row with it. Mazda’s newer books do something different and map each condition to specific items, leaving every other row on its normal interval. Two different models of severe service, and neither may be written the other one’s way.
Flexible and Fixed Are a Separate Question
Mazda prints, for this model year: engine oil flexible maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose vehicle is operated mainly where none of the listed conditions apply, and it gives the fixed alternative its own full Schedule 1 table. That is the older of Mazda’s two framings, and it is why this model year has three U.S. tables where later CX-3 books have two.
Rows That Are Not for This Market
Mazda routes Canada residents to Schedule 2 outright. That is a market routing rather than a statement about how a car is driven in Mobile, and it is not quoted as one here. Which of the two U.S. tables your CX-3 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 this model year, on the six-month grid it moves onto.
Every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months
Engine oil and filter on the fixed basis, 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. The flexible alternative on this table carries the same 12 month or 16,000 km (10,000 mile) ceiling the normal table does.
Every 10,000 Miles or 12 Months
Disc brakes, marked at every other one of the twelve columns on this model year. Later CX-3 severe tables move the row to every column; this one does not, and the figure here is this model year’s.
Every 20,000 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
Every 30,000 miles or 36 months — drive belts. At 40,000 miles, once — hoses and tubes for emission. Every 45,000 miles or 5 years — exhaust system and heat shields, printed as a sentence. The air filter and the tire rotation are performed at the oil change with ceilings of 36 months or 37,500 miles and 8,000 km (5,000 miles). The cabin air filter is printed as replace every 40,000 km (25,000 miles), and the emergency flat tire repair kit is inspected annually.

Why This Model Year Has Its Own Page
Its severe table moves onto the six-month grid every later CX-3 uses, while its Schedule 1 is still marked in ten-thousand-mile steps with a ceiling of 12 months or 10,000 miles and Mazda still prints a second, fixed Schedule 1 beside it. A page written for either neighbouring model year gets one half of this car right and the other half wrong.
Schedule 1 and Schedule 2
Mazda prints three U.S. tables for this model year: a flexible-oil Schedule 1, a fixed-interval Schedule 1, and Schedule 2 for severe driving. On this model year’s wording 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.
2017 Mazda CX-3 Maintenance Schedule Questions
What is the maintenance schedule for a 2017 Mazda CX-3?⌄
Mazda prints three U.S. tables for this model year: a flexible-oil Schedule 1 whose ceiling is 12 months or 16,000 km (10,000 miles), a fixed-interval Schedule 1 that replaces the engine oil every 7,500 miles or 6 months, and Schedule 2 for severe driving, marked in six-month steps from 5,000 miles.
How often is the cabin air filter replaced on a 2017 Mazda CX-3?⌄
On the flexible Schedule 1 Mazda performs it at the oil change with a maximum interval of 24 months or 48,000 km (30,000 miles); on the fixed Schedule 1 it is marked every 30,000 miles or 24 months; and on Schedule 2 it is printed as replace every 40,000 km (25,000 miles). Three tables, three answers, which is why each is stated against its own.
When are the spark plugs replaced on a 2017 Mazda CX-3?⌄
Mazda prints one row for every table: replace every 120,000 km (75,000 miles). It publishes a mileage and no month figure, so this page states the mileage and stops there.
Does this page apply to a newer CX-3?⌄
No. The following model year rescales Schedule 1 entirely, drops the oil ceiling and removes the second Schedule 1 table. Each CX-3 model year has its own page, and this one states the schedule printed in this model year’s own owner’s manual and nothing else.
How much is maintenance for a 2017 Mazda CX-3 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 CX-3 when you book.
