2019 Mazda CX-3 Maintenance Schedule

This is where Mazda rewrote most of the CX-3’s table at once. The air filter, cabin air filter and tire rotation stop being performed at the oil change and become fixed grid marks; every severe chassis row tightens; and the severe disc-brake inspection halves, from every 10,000 miles to every 5,000. 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 Disc Brakes Halve

Mazda moves the Schedule 2 disc-brake inspection to every one of the twelve columns on this model year — every 5,000 miles or 6 months. The model year before it marks the row at every other column, every 10,000 miles. That is the one row on this table a borrowed schedule gets wrong in the direction that costs a customer money, in one direction or safety in the other.

Three Rows Move onto the Grid

On Schedule 1 the air filter becomes every 22,500 miles or 36 months and the cabin air filter every 15,000 miles or 24 months, both marked at fixed columns rather than performed at the oil change; the tire rotation becomes a printed sentence, rotate every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). On Schedule 2 the air filter becomes every 30,000 miles or 36 months and the rotation a printed every 8,000 km (5,000 miles).

Every Severe Chassis Row Tightens

Drive belts move from every 30,000 miles to every 20,000; the fuel lines, brake lines, steering, suspension, driveshaft dust boots and chassis bolts from every 20,000 miles to every 15,000; the emission hoses and tubes from a single mark at 40,000 miles to every 30,000; and the exhaust system from a printed 45,000-mile sentence to a single mark at 35,000 miles or 42 months.

The Conditional Rear Differential Oil Is Last Printed Here

This model year attaches two footnotes to the rear differential oil row. The second one carries a figure: if the vehicle is operated primarily while towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier, in dusty, sandy or wet conditions, with extended idling or low-speed operation, or on repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles), replace the rear differential oil every 48,000 km (30,000 miles). The following model year prints only the submerged-in-water footnote, so a later CX-3 has no published interval here at all.

How This Model Year’s Table Is Built

Mazda’s own structure, described so you can read your own manual with confidence.

Two tables, not one. Schedule 1 is the normal-driving table for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents and has eight columns; Schedule 2 is the severe-driving table and has twelve. A figure from one is not an answer about the other, so every figure on this page is labelled with the table it is printed in.
Schedule 1’s eight columns run 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 months against 7,500, 15,000, 22,500, 30,000, 37,500, 45,000, 52,500 and 60,000 miles. A row marked at every column falls due every 7,500 miles or 12 months; a row marked at every other column falls due at twice that.
Schedule 2’s twelve columns run 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66 and 72 months against 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, 45,000, 50,000, 55,000 and 60,000 miles.
Mazda’s own symbols: I is inspect, and Mazda defines that as inspect and clean, repair, adjust, fill up or replace if necessary. R is replace, T is tighten, C is clean, L is lubricate and D is drain. Some rows are printed as sentences rather than as marks in the grid, and where they are, the sentence governs.
This page covers one model year of a Mazda that is no longer built, and it states that car’s own table and nothing else. There is no current Mazda CX-3 to compare it against; the schedules for the Mazdas we sell today are on the Mazda maintenance schedule page, and the two are not interchangeable in either direction.

Schedule 1 — Normal Driving

This model year’s normal-driving table, grouped by the interval Mazda marks each row at.

Marked at Every Column
Every 7,500 Miles or 12 Months
Engine oil and filter, on the flexible basis Mazda prints for this model year: replace when the wrench indicator light is ON, with a maximum interval of 12 months or 12,000 km (7,500 miles). The printed figure is a ceiling and the wrench indication arrives before it is reached.
Disc brakes, inspected at every one of the eight columns.
Tire rotation, printed as a sentence rather than as marks: rotate every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).
Marked at Every Other Column
Every 15,000 Miles or 24 Months
Cabin air filter, 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, and driveshaft dust boots.
The bolts and nuts on the chassis and body sit at the same columns but carry T rather than I, so they are tightened rather than inspected.
The Longer Rows
22,500 Miles and Beyond
Every 22,500 miles or 36 months — air filter, drive belts. Every 30,000 miles or 48 months — hoses and tubes for emission. At 37,500 miles or 60 months, once — exhaust system and heat shields. Every 75,000 miles — spark plugs, with no month figure printed. At 120,000 miles or 10 years, then every 60,000 miles or 5 years — engine coolant.
The emergency flat tire repair kit, if installed, is inspected annually.
Rear differential oil and transfer oil carry no mark in any column. The rear differential oil carries a conditional replacement every 48,000 km (30,000 miles) under four named conditions — towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier, driving in dusty, sandy or wet conditions, extended periods of idling or low-speed operation, and repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles). The transfer oil does not carry it, and neither carries an unconditional interval.
Three things Mazda does not schedule for this car, recorded so nothing fills them in: there is no brake fluid replacement row on either table — only a brake and clutch fluid level inspection — no automatic transmission fluid row, and no fuel filter row. Where Mazda publishes nothing, this page states nothing.

Sourced from the Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto Rico) section of the 2019 Mazda CX-3 owner’s manual, document CX-3_8GR7-EA-18B_Edition3, section pages 433 to 437, and from no other model year’s manual. This is the one CX-3 model year corroborated by a genuinely earlier Mazda printing — the standalone scheduled-maintenance document CX-3_8GR7-EA-18B_Edition1 — and the two agree character for character. Your own manual is the authority for your vehicle; bring the mileage and our team will read the table with you. For this model year specifically, Mazda’s own book is document CX-3_8GR7-EA-18B_Edition3 2018-9-28 — the one to check your vehicle against.

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 selected by default for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents, and if either extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as a police car, taxi or driving-school car, or driving in dusty conditions applies, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fixed maintenance. So a dusty-conditions car is on Schedule 2 and on the fixed 5,000-mile oil interval rather than on the wrench light.

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, every chassis row tighter than the model year before it.

Every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months

Engine oil and filter on the fixed basis, disc brakes, 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. Tire rotation runs at the same cadence and is printed as a sentence: rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles).

Every 15,000 Miles or 18 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. The same rows sit at every 15,000 miles or 24 months on Schedule 1 — the mileage matches and the month figure does not, which is exactly why the two tables are quoted separately.

Cabin Air Filter — 25,000 Miles

Mazda prints, on this model year’s Schedule 2: replace every 40,000 km (25,000 miles) or 2 years. That is the CX-3’s own figure and it is not the one Mazda prints for every other crossover of the same era, so a severe cabin filter borrowed from a showroom neighbour is wrong for this car. Schedule 1 replaces the cabin air filter every 15,000 miles or 24 months.

The Longer Severe Rows

Every 20,000 miles or 24 months — drive belts. Every 30,000 miles or 36 months — air filter, and hoses and tubes for emission. At 35,000 miles or 42 months, once — exhaust system and heat shields. Spark plugs and engine coolant carry the same figures they carry on Schedule 1, and the emergency flat tire repair kit is inspected annually. Mazda adds one note to the severe air filter row: if the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary replace the air filter more often than the recommended intervals.

Why This Model Year Has Its Own Page

It is where Mazda rewrote most of the CX-3’s table. The severe disc brakes move to every 5,000 miles, the Schedule 1 air filter to 22,500 miles and the cabin air filter to 15,000 miles, all on fixed marks rather than at the oil change. It is also the last CX-3 whose rear differential oil carries a published conditional replacement.

Schedule 1 and Schedule 2

Schedule 1 is the normal-driving table and hangs off a maximum interval of 12 months or 7,500 miles. Schedule 2 is the severe-driving table and marks its shortest rows at 6 months or 5,000 miles. On this model year’s wording a single severe condition moves the whole car onto Schedule 2, which on this table changes the brake inspection as well as the oil.

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.

2019 Mazda CX-3 Maintenance Schedule Questions

What is the maintenance schedule for a 2019 Mazda CX-3?

Mazda prints two tables for this model year. Schedule 1, for normal driving, hangs off a maximum interval of 12 months or 12,000 km (7,500 miles) and marks each row at the columns it falls on. Schedule 2, for severe driving, runs on a grid of 6 months and 5,000 miles.

How often are the disc brakes inspected on a 2019 Mazda CX-3?

Every 7,500 miles or 12 months on Schedule 1, and every 5,000 miles or 6 months on Schedule 2. The severe figure halved on this model year — the CX-3 before it is inspected every 10,000 miles on the same table — so a schedule carried backwards from this page asks too little of that car.

Does the rear differential oil have a replacement interval on a 2019 Mazda CX-3?

Only a conditional one. Mazda prints: if the vehicle is operated primarily while towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier, in dusty, sandy or wet conditions, with extended idling or low-speed operation, or on repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles), replace the rear differential oil every 48,000 km (30,000 miles). There is no mark in any column and no unconditional interval, and the following model year drops the footnote entirely.

How often is the cabin air filter replaced on a 2019 Mazda CX-3?

Every 15,000 miles or 24 months on Schedule 1. On Schedule 2 Mazda prints: replace every 40,000 km (25,000 miles) or 2 years.

How much is maintenance for a 2019 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.
