I have a 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback, and as per the owner's manual my oil change interval is 4 months or 8,000 km
I noticed that the oil change interval for the 2017 model is now 6 months or 8,000 km
So I used mazda.ca email form to inquire as to whether my vehicle would fall under the same rules.
This is a cut and paste of the response that I got
"Thank you for contacting Mazda Canada regarding the maintenance schedule on your vehicle. Our service schedule is designed with Canadian driving conditions in mind, with regular service intervals at 8,000 km or every 4 months (whichever occurs first). Due to technical and technological advancements in our 2017 models, the engineers decided that the servicing schedule for our 2017 models could be different. All 2016 models and older models must follow the regular service intervals in order to be covered under warranty"
I know what I think about this, but I don't have all the facts.
So in regards to maintenance schedule, does any one know what the advancements are and how they affect the vehicle? And could you please explain how it makes a difference.
