For your info, this operation work for the first generation of the Mazda CX-5 (2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years). For the latest model, you can reach it here.
The recommended service schedule for a Mazda CX-5 includes an oil change and filter replacement. Changing the oil regularly helps remove debris that can damage your engine. Another essential service you should have performed on your Mazda CX-5 is a 7,500-mile checkup. Other recommended service items include tire rotation and inspection of the belts and hoses. A technician will also check your vehicle’s brakes, fluid levels, and other components.
If you haven’t scheduled a multi-point inspection on your Mazda CX-5 Recommended Maintenance Schedule, it is time to do so. A Mazda-certified technician will visually inspect all of your car’s most essential components. A multi-point inspection is part of your vehicle’s recommended service schedule and should be performed every seven thousand miles.
The Mazda CX-5 maintenance schedule includes 34 different types of services. Oil changes, brake fluid, and filter changes are some of the most frequent services, so keeping up with these schedules is essential. Mazda recommends changing your oil every 7,500 miles or twelve months, depending on the mileage. Visit the Mazda service department to find out when it’s time for an oil change. You can also use RepairPal to get fair price estimates.
Your Mazda CX-5 has a cabin air filter that collects dust, pollen, and other irritants that are carried inside the vehicle. Just like the air filter in your home, you should replace the cabin air filter on time to maintain clean air inside. The recommended cabin air filter replacement service schedule will vary based on your mileage and model year.
Wheel alignment is one of the essential service tasks on your Mazda CX-5 recommended maintenance schedule. An adequately aligned wheel will maximize fuel efficiency while reducing the wear and tear on your tires. You’ll notice a few common warning signs of misalignment, including pulling to the left or right, uneven tire wear, and crooked steering when driving straight. But if you don’t notice any of these signs, it’s best to schedule your alignment check now.
Changing your brake pads is a critical part of driving a Mazda CX-5. Your brakes should be checked and replaced regularly based on the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. If you’re a sporty driver, you may notice that your brake pads are wearing out much faster than they should. In addition, heat from your engine can lead to premature rotor wear. To avoid this, it is best to replace your brake pads regularly to extend your Mazda’s life.
Your vehicle’s engine should be serviced at least once every seven years or 120,000 miles. The Mazda CX-5 recommended maintenance schedule includes a coolant replacement at this interval. Although the cooling system is designed to last for years, it will eventually need to be flushed to prevent corrosion and scale deposits. In addition to replacing the coolant, your vehicle should have its spark plugs replaced every six months or 60,000 miles.
2016 Mazda CX-5 runs on 5W-30 motor oil. 2.0L and 2.5L engines have different oil capacities. Without a new oil filter, the 2.5L engine can store 4.5 quarts of oil, whereas, with a new oil filter, it can hold 4.8 quarts. In comparison, the 2.0L engine oil capacity is 4.4 quarts.
Whatever the year, No matter what engine you have in your Mazda CX5, you will have a timing chain. The CX5 has never utilized a timing belt in any of its versions.
Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv vehicles require DOT 4 brake fluid for most models but DOT 3 for all other versions of Mazda CX-5.
So that’s all there is to reset the scheduled maintenance/oil light on your Mazda CX5. You can turn the ignition on and wait for 10 seconds to see if you have the message on your display or not. If you have any suggestions about new tutorials, let us know in the comment section. So thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

I do as prompted push to start with foot off the brake and display shows but when i push on INFO nothing happens not being able to show a list of items to be reset. Nothing on the display moves after pushing the arrows up and down remains the same. NO MAINTENANCE display What could be the reason.?
I have 2016 Mazda CX-5 Diesel 2.2 and having warning OIL CHAGE DUE. My car has a Navigation Screen and I also have followed the instruction to reset the OIL CHANGE DUE WARNING but the warning can not be reset. There is no "Setting" menu by pressing "info" button. However, I try another solution to reset by following up 5 simple steps by pressing on the steering button but nothing reset.
