Mazda CX-30 Spark Plugs
The CX-30 is sold with two engines and Mazda gives them two different plug intervals: 75,000 miles in the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 and 40,000 miles in the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T. Which figure applies to your car is a question about what is under the hood rather than about the badge on the back, and Mazda attaches no month or year limit to either of them.
What the Spark Plug Service Covers
One row on Mazda's CX-30 table for each of its two engines, and the right one read against your car.

How Often the Spark Plugs Are Replaced
A mileage Mazda publishes, and a column Mazda leaves empty.
Sourced from the Scheduled Maintenance section of the 2026 Mazda CX-30 owner’s manual, pages 9-6 to 9-8, together with its Recommended Oil and Lubricant Quality and Capacities tables. Your own manual is the authority for your vehicle; bring the mileage and our team will read the table with you.
What Mazda Specifies
The part, the caution printed beside it, and the figure the row does not carry.
Two Engines, Two Part Numbers
Mazda specifies PE5R-18-110–A for the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 and PY8V-18-110 for the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T. We fit the genuine part catalogued for your vehicle by its VIN rather than reading a number off a page.
There Is No Month Figure
Mazda prints the spark plug row as a mileage and gives it no month or year limit — not on this model, and not on any of the twelve in this lineup. So a time-based answer to "when do my plugs need doing" does not exist to be quoted, and this page does not supply one.
Iridium, and Not to Be Wire-Brushed
Mazda cautions against cleaning iridium plugs with a wire brush, which is why a plug that is past its interval is replaced here rather than serviced. A plug that is early in its life and simply dirty is a finding worth talking about; it is not a reason to clean a plug Mazda says should not be cleaned.
The Interval Belongs to the Engine
The CX-30's two engines carry two different plug intervals, and the badge on the tailgate does not tell you which. That is why the figure on your invoice comes from the engine in your car rather than from the model name.
What Mazda Counts as Severe Driving
Mazda publishes a severe schedule for the CX-30 and a three-condition list for deciding whether you are on it. Both are shorter than most people expect.
Mazda’s Severe Schedule Moves One Thing
On the CX-30, Mazda’s severe schedule changes the engine oil and filter to 5,000 miles or 6 months and states in as many words that every other item follows the interval listed in the normal schedule. There is no second table to move onto.
The Three Conditions
Mazda’s list, in its own terms: 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; the vehicle is driven mainly on unpaved road; the vehicle is driven mainly on mountain roads or uphill roads. Those are the whole of it.
What Gulf Coast Driving Does Not Change
Mazda’s U.S. severe-driving list for the CX-30 names no weather condition — no heat, no humidity, no heavy rain, no short trips, no dust. Ordinary Mobile-area commuting matches none of the three, so a Gulf Coast CX-30 is a normal-schedule vehicle.
The Plug Row Keeps Its Normal Interval
Mazda's severe schedule for the CX-30 moves the engine oil and filter and states that every other item keeps its normal interval. The spark plugs are one of those, so the interval for the engine fitted is the only figure Mazda publishes for them.

The Interval
75,000 miles in the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 and 40,000 miles in the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T.
And No Month Figure
Mazda gives the spark plug row a distance and nothing else. There is no month or year limit for it on this model or any other in the lineup, so nobody can honestly tell you plugs are due on age.
Pricing and Booking
Pricing for spark plug replacement 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 Mazda schedules for the CX-30 on the Mazda service center page.
