The factory maintenance schedule for the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 covering every service through 60,000 miles. Exactly what is due at each interval, and where severe-service conditions change it.

### 7,500 miles / 12 months

- Replace engine oil and filter
- Rotate tires
- Inspect brakes, fluid levels, wipers, drive belts

### 15,000 miles / 12 months

- Replace cabin air filter
- Inspect steering, suspension, exhaust, fuel lines

### 30,000 miles / 24 months

- Replace engine air filter
