I hate guessing at service intervals. Ask a forum how often the official service schedule says to change the oil, and you get ‘opinion’ from dozen’s of helpful folks ranging from every 3,000 miles to once per year, but nothing that I can trust as authoritative. To that end, I always try to provide an official reputable source for the data I will post.

Service Manuals and Procedures

If you are looking for the service schedule its likely you are gearing up to tackle your own maintenance. I’ve tracked down the official Mazda Owners (glove box) and Workshop Service manuals and have them linked on the Service Manuals page. Hopefully these resources help you out.

Service Schedule

We’ve created this from the service books linked above, and are including only the information for the USA Mazda Miata MX-5 in normal conditions (not severe).
