2020 Mazda CX-30 Maintenance Schedule

This is the first CX-30 Mazda published, and its table carries four things no later CX-30 table does: a scheduled brake fluid replacement, rear differential and transfer oil rows, an emergency flat tire repair kit inspection, and a single spark plug row for every engine. This page states that model year’s own schedule and no other year’s.

What Is Different About This Model Year

The reason this model year has its own page instead of pointing at the current CX-30’s.

Mazda Published This Table for This Model Year Alone

It is the earliest model year this research covers for the Mazda CX-30, so what Mazda published before it is not stated here. 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.

There Is a Scheduled Brake Fluid Replacement

Mazda schedules the brake fluid on a car with an electrical booster at every other column — every 20,000 miles or 24 months. The following model year removes the row entirely, so this model year has a scheduled brake fluid replacement and a newer CX-30 does not. It is the difference on this schedule that matters most in the direction of work left undone.

One Spark Plug Row

Mazda prints a single spark-plug row for this model year: replace every 120,000 km (75,000 miles), with no separate turbocharged row and no month figure. The following model year splits the row by engine, so a schedule carried backwards would give this car a figure its own manual does not contain.

Two Rows That Carry No Interval

Rear differential oil and transfer oil are printed with no mark in any column and one footnote: if the component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced. There is no mileage to state for either, so none is stated, and the following model year removes both rows outright.

The Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit Is Inspected

This model year’s table prints an emergency flat tire repair kit row, if equipped, inspected annually, with a yearly check of the repair fluid expiration date. The following CX-30 removes the row — and the Mazda3 on the same platform keeps it for years afterwards, which is exactly why nothing may be carried between the two nameplates on the strength of the platform. Mazda’s spare-tire note on this model year also reads if installed rather than if equipped.

How This Model Year’s Table Is Built

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

Two schedules, and they are not two full tables. The normal schedule is the whole list; the severe schedule is a short condition list and ONE row that changes. Every figure on this page is labelled with which of the two it comes from.
The normal schedule’s columns are occasions rather than mileages: Mazda heads them “number of times, maintenance was performed”. The Nth column falls at N times 10,000 miles or N times 12 months, whichever comes first, out to 80,000 miles or 96 months. A row marked at every column falls due every 10,000 miles; one marked at every other column falls due every 20,000 miles.
The severe schedule is a real mileage grid — 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 months against 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000 and 40,000 miles — and Mazda puts one row on it.
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 and T is tighten. Some rows are printed as sentences rather than as marks, and where they are, the sentence governs.
This page covers older model years. The current CX-30 is on its own table and is covered on the Mazda CX-30 maintenance schedule page, and the two are not interchangeable in either direction.

Schedule 1 — Normal Driving

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

Marked at Every Column
Every 10,000 Miles or 12 Months
Engine oil and filter, drive belts, engine coolant level, brake and clutch fluid level, disc brakes, tire inflation pressure and tire wear, and the function of all lights. Mazda’s note adds: inspect a spare tire, if equipped.
Tire rotation, printed as a sentence rather than as marks: rotate every 16,000 km (10,000 miles). That is this nameplate’s figure and not every Mazda’s.
Marked at Every Other Column
Every 20,000 Miles or 24 Months
Fuel lines and hoses, the vacuum brake booster and hose, brake lines, hoses and connections, steering operation and linkages, front and rear suspension with ball joints and wheel bearing axial play, and the driveshaft dust boot.
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
30,000 Miles and Beyond
Every 30,000 miles or 36 months — air filter. Every 40,000 miles or 48 months — hoses and tubes for emission, and the exhaust system and heat shields. Every 75,000 miles — spark plugs, one row for every engine, with no month figure printed. At 120,000 miles or 120 months, then every 60,000 miles or 60 months — engine coolant. Every 30,000 miles or 24 months — cabin air filter, printed as a sentence.
Brake fluid on a car with an electrical booster, replaced every 20,000 miles or 24 months. This is the only CX-30 model year whose table schedules it.
Rear differential oil and transfer oil are printed with no mark in any column and one footnote: if the component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced. There is no interval to state for either.
The emergency flat tire repair kit, if equipped, is inspected annually, and Mazda’s note adds a yearly check of the repair fluid expiration date. Later CX-30 tables do not carry the row at all.

Sourced from the scheduled maintenance section of the 2020 Mazda CX-30 owner’s manual, document CX-30_8HG6-EA-19I_Edition2, section pages 415 to 417, and from no other model year’s manual. 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-30_8HG6-EA-19I_Edition2_new 2019-10-17 — the one to check your vehicle against.

Which Schedule Applies to Your CX-30

On this nameplate the severe schedule changes one row, not the whole car.

Mazda’s Own Condition List

Mazda prints, for the CX-30: if you drive your vehicle under any of the following conditions, follow the severe driving scheduled maintenance and replace the engine oil and filter every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first; otherwise follow the normal driving scheduled maintenance intervals. The vehicle is idled for long periods or driven at low speeds, such as with police cars, taxis or a 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; and driving continuously in mountainous regions.

It Is One Row, Not the Whole Car

This is the important difference between this nameplate and several Mazdas of the same era. Mazda does not move this car onto a second full table. It changes the engine oil and filter and prints, for everything else, “follow maintenance interval listed in normal driving scheduled maintenance”. Writing it the other way would shorten twenty rows Mazda never shortens.

So the Other Rows Do Not Move

The air filter, the cabin air filter, the brake and chassis inspections and the tire rotation are the same on both schedules. If a shop tells you severe driving has moved all of them on a CX-30 of these model years, that is not what this car’s manual says.

Which One Applies to Yours

That is a question about how the car is driven, and on this nameplate it changes one row. Bring the car and its mileage and our service team will go through Mazda’s own condition list with you before anything is quoted.

Schedule 2 — Severe Driving

What Mazda’s severe-driving schedule actually changes on this model year.

Engine Oil and Filter — Every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months

Mazda prints: replace the engine oil and filter every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first. That is the whole of what the severe schedule changes, and the row sits on its own eight-column grid running from 5,000 miles and 6 months up to 40,000 miles and 48 months.

Everything Else Follows the Normal Intervals

Mazda prints it in as many words: follow the maintenance interval listed in the normal driving scheduled maintenance. The air filter stays at 30,000 miles, the cabin air filter at 30,000 miles or 24 months, the chassis rows at 20,000 miles and the disc brakes at 10,000 miles, whichever schedule the car is on.

The Conditions Mazda Names

The vehicle is idled for long periods or driven at low speeds, such as with police cars, taxis or a 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; and driving continuously in mountainous regions.

What That Means Here

A CX-30 driven in Mobile heat may well meet Mazda’s extremely-high-temperature condition, and if it does, the answer is a 5,000-mile oil and filter and nothing else on the schedule moving. Our service team will go through the list with you rather than assuming it.

Why This Model Year Has Its Own Page

It is the first CX-30 Mazda published, and the only one whose table schedules a brake fluid replacement — every 20,000 miles or 24 months on a car with an electrical booster. It also prints one spark plug row at 75,000 miles where later tables print two, and carries an emergency flat tire repair kit row later tables drop. The current CX-30 is on a different table again and is covered on the Mazda CX-30 maintenance schedule page.

Normal and Severe

The normal schedule is the whole list, hung off a maximum of 10,000 miles or 12 months. The severe schedule is a short condition list and one row: engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Everything else follows the normal intervals, which Mazda prints in as many words.

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.

2020 Mazda CX-30 Maintenance Schedule Questions

What is the maintenance schedule for a 2020 Mazda CX-30?

Mazda hangs the normal schedule off one maximum interval of 16,000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months, with the display or wrench indication as the prompt. The columns are occasions rather than mileages, so the second falls at 20,000 miles or 24 months and so on to 80,000 miles or 96 months.

When is the brake fluid replaced on a 2020 Mazda CX-30?

Every 20,000 miles or 24 months on a car with an electrical booster, marked at every other column. This is the only CX-30 model year whose table schedules it — the following one removes the row — so the figure belongs to this car and may not be carried forward.

Does Gulf Coast driving change the schedule on a 2020 Mazda CX-30?

Only one row, if Mazda’s conditions apply. Mazda does not move this car onto a second full table — it names a short condition list and replaces the engine oil and filter every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or 6 months, and prints that everything else follows the normal intervals.

How often are the tires rotated on a 2020 Mazda CX-30?

Mazda prints a sentence rather than a mark: rotate every 16,000 km (10,000 miles). That is this nameplate’s figure and it is not what Mazda prints for every other model of the same era.

How much is maintenance for a 2020 Mazda CX-30 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 when you book.
