Introduction to Maintenance (Mazda Capella GF)

This chapter is intended to help the vehicle owner maintain the vehicle in peak performance, fuel economy and safety for a long time.

The chapter is structured in accordance with the maintenance schedule, and each paragraph is devoted to the implementation of individual points of this schedule. All necessary actions are described, from inspection to replacement of faulty elements.

Performing maintenance according to the schedule will help you keep your car in top working condition for a long time. The schedule is systemic in nature, which means that completing some of its points and not completing others will not produce the expected result.

When performing maintenance, you will find that some operations can (and should) be combined, if only to save time. For example, if for some reason you need to get under your car, inspect the condition of the exhaust, fuel, and brake systems at the same time. Or you borrowed a torque wrench from your neighbor in the garage to tighten the spark plugs. Then, at the same time, check as many connections that require specified tightening as possible, as time allows.

Before starting any work, you need to prepare for it. Read the description of all procedures you are about to perform. List and prepare all the tools, equipment and spare parts you may need. If you do not feel confident about performing any procedure, consult a specialist in advance.
