2023 Mazda CX-5 Maintenance Schedule
Mazda did not revise the Mazda CX-5’s published schedule for this model year: it reads the table Mazda printed across 2022–2025, unchanged from the model year before it. These four model years share one published pair of tables — the longest unbroken run in this nameplate’s whole window. Schedule 1 hangs off a ceiling of 12 months or 12,000 km (7,500 miles); Schedule 2 runs on a twelve-column grid; and a single condition from Mazda’s own list moves the whole car from one to the other. This page states these model years’ own two tables and no other year’s.
What Changed From the Model Year Before
Nothing — and that is the answer most owners are here for, so this page says it plainly rather than leaving you to compare two tables line by line.
Nothing Moved From the Model Year Before
Mazda carried its published Mazda CX-5 schedule into this model year unchanged. Every interval below is the table Mazda printed across 2022–2025, read for the 2023 model year. The boundaries in this nameplate’s published schedule were established one model year at a time before any of these pages were written, so “unchanged” here is a finding rather than an assumption — which is the difference between this page and a schedule reprinted under a different year.
This Is the Second of Four Model Years on This Table
Mazda published the same schedule for 2022–2025. The model year after this one reads the same table, and has its own page for the same reason this one does.
Where the Change Actually Is
The 2022–2025 table opens at the 2022 model year, and that model year’s own page sets out what Mazda moved at the boundary. Between it and this model year the published schedule did not move, so there is no boundary to describe here and none is invented.
What This Page Will Not Do
It does not restate a neighbouring model year’s figures. Every interval below comes from this model year’s own entry in Mazda’s published Mazda CX-5 schedule, and where Mazda publishes nothing this page states nothing rather than filling the gap from the model year either side of it — a figure carried one model year in either direction is wrong in a way nothing about the page would show.

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 2022 Mazda CX-5 owner’s manual, section pages 541 to 546, confirmed identical in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 manuals — the 2024 comparison was re-derived mark by mark because its only textual differences were PDF artifacts — and confirmed against Mazda’s own standalone scheduled-maintenance excerpts for two of these model years. No manual from outside this span was used. The Canada residents table and the Mexico section printed in the same manual are out of scope here. 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-5_8LD6-EA-22G_Edition1_old 2022-4-13 — the one to check your vehicle against.
Which Schedule Applies to Your CX-5
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. 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 model year a single condition moves the entire schedule to Schedule 2. The current CX-5’s manual does something different: it maps each condition to specific items and leaves every other row on its normal interval. Two different models of severe service, and neither may be written the other one’s way — which is the main reason this page exists separately from its parent.
Flexible and Fixed Are a Separate Question
Mazda’s flexible engine-oil maintenance is offered to U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose car is not operated with extended periods of idling or low-speed operation, such as a police car, taxi or driving-school car, and is not driven in dusty conditions. Where either applies, fixed maintenance is followed — engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months — even on Schedule 2. So the 5,000-mile oil figure is not the severe interval for every CX-5 driven in severe conditions.
Rows That Are Not for This Market
The same manual prints a Canada residents table and a separate Mexico section. Neither is quoted on this page, and a change Mazda made only to the Canada table is not a change to the table a Mobile CX-5 is read on. Which of the two U.S. tables your car 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, and the rows on which it is not the shorter of the two.
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.
The Rows Where Schedule 2 Is the Longer Table
Cabin air filter — every 30,000 miles or 2 years, printed as a sentence, against 15,000 miles or 24 months on Schedule 1. Air filter — every 30,000 miles or 36 months, against 22,500 miles on Schedule 1. Severe driving does not shorten either of those rows on this car; it lengthens them, and a page that assumed otherwise would sell a filter twice as often as Mazda schedules it.
The Rest of the Longer Severe Rows
Every 20,000 miles or 24 months — drive belts. Every 30,000 miles or 36 months — 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 These Model Years Have Their Own Page
They are the first CX-5 tables without the SKYACTIV®-D 2.2 diesel rows, and the last of this generation. Mazda schedules no brake fluid replacement on their normal table where the current car does, and their cabin air filter is 15,000 miles on Schedule 1 against 30,000 on Schedule 2 — the severe table being the longer one, which is the opposite of the intuition. The current CX-5 is a different generation on a different basis and is covered on the Mazda CX-5 maintenance schedule page.
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 these model years Mazda moves the whole car onto Schedule 2 if any condition on its own list applies, 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 for the CX-5 at the Mazda service center.
2023 Mazda CX-5 Maintenance Schedule Questions
What is the maintenance schedule for a 2022 to 2025 Mazda CX-5?⌄
One pair of tables covers all four model years. 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. Which of the two applies is settled by Mazda’s own condition list rather than by preference.
How often is the cabin air filter replaced on a 2022 to 2025 Mazda CX-5?⌄
Every 15,000 miles or 24 months on Schedule 1. On Schedule 2 Mazda prints a sentence instead: replace every 48,000 km (30,000 miles) or 2 years. The severe table is the longer of the two on this row, so the figure has to be quoted with the table it comes from.
When is the brake fluid replaced on a 2022 to 2025 Mazda CX-5?⌄
Mazda schedules no brake fluid replacement on the normal table for these model years — only a brake and clutch fluid level inspection, and that on the severe table. The current CX-5 does carry a replacement row, and that is a newer car’s figure. Bring the car and our service team will inspect the fluid and advise.
Is there a diesel CX-5 in these model years?⌄
No. The SKYACTIV®-D 2.2 block leaves both U.S. schedules at the first of these model years, together with its diesel air filter, fuel filter, exhaust fluid and glow plug rows. A diesel CX-5 is an earlier model year and is read on that year’s own page, not this one.
How much is maintenance for a 2022 to 2025 Mazda CX-5 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-5 when you book.
