NC Oil and Filter Change

Greetings All,
Mazda engineers have advised that oil/filter change can now wait 12 months or 20K - which ever comes first.
Is this sound advice?
Thanks
Madonna

12months or 10,000km, whichever comes first. Not 20K.

100% agree.
Just do what the owner's manual says.
Personally, I go off the distance only (ie: 10,000km for my car)

But the owners manual is different as they were printed before Mazda big service schedule upheaval.
I think the first manuals to be correct were series 2 CX5s books last year.

Ah, I didnt know that the NC had a misprinted booklet.
In that case i'd still say 10,000 or 15,000km, whatever the later NC said. (I'd go more to 10,000km, since servicing early does no harm)

It is not a misprint. It's just that between the time the booklets were printed and October 2014, they change their service scheduling periods.
